The most likely cause (but not the only one) is that your passphrase is
not strong enough.
When you generate a key, and enter the passphrase of your choice, gnupg
will balk at you if it considers that your passphrase is not strong
enough. GnuPG will also output that "...a passphrase should be composed
of at least" a given number of characters *that will include different
entries like letters, numbers, etc.*. Beware, some punctuation signs are
excluded.

HTH.
