What am I doing wrong?
For the first error you're not in the directory where the files are. For
the second you gave a path that doesn't exist. I assume that you've
actually downloaded both a source tarball (filename.tar.gz) and its
associated signature (filename.tar.gz.sig). Open up a terminal, and use
the command 'ls' (no quotes). You should see something like this
(perhaps with other files and directories listed as well):
truecrypt-7.0a-linux-x64.tar.gz truecrypt-7.0a-linux-x64.tar.gz.sig
If you don't see truecrypt related files, you're probably in your home
directory, and the files were downloaded to Downloads, so do this: cd
Downloads
Now do ls again, and you should see the files. Now you can do: gpg
--verify filename.tar.gz.sig and it should work.
Good luck,
Doug
