[pkg-gnupg-maint] Bug#839547: gnupg: unable to decrypt file

[Paul Roge]

Package: gnupg
Version: 2.1.15-3
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

After updated gnupg, I am unable to decrypt files with "gpg --decrypt [file].gpg". The following error is generated:

> gpg: encrypted with 2048-bit RSA key, ID 3A2B8EB7865452A1, created 2014-02-28
>       "Paul Rogé <proge at riseup.net>"
> gpg: public key decryption failed: Operation cancelled
> gpg: decryption failed: No secret key

I have checked that a secret key exists by "gpg --edit-key 3A2B8EB7865452A1", which states:

> Secret key is available.

I also ran the script "/usr/bin/migrate-pubring-from-classic-gpg --default", but the same problem persists.

Thanks,
Paul
