Thank you Vincent, I am really ashamed! Yes you are right: encryption is normally done with a public key. (I am blushing). I forgot, because nobody has a PGP-Key to correspond with. The only use for my own PGP-key was to encrypt my own Password-file, AND this with my private key, of course! Onl

Hello all, Thank you for your answers. Hope I respond to your questions: I encrypt in my Shell as follows - I am doing it just now with a Backup File on my desktop: $ gpg bu_pw_new.txt.gpg gpg: WARNING: no command supplied. Trying to guess what you mean ... gpg: encrypted with 2048-bit ELG k

Did you encrypt to yourself as well as to the pause key for some reason? Are you a pause admin? It sounds like you encrypted to both yourself and pa...@pause.perl.org for some reason. If that's the case and you cannot find your private key, you could maybe ask a pause admin to decrypt and re-encr
