Hello, I have a file which has been encrypted with a symmetric cipher (using a passphrase).
How can I decrypt this file in batch mode, without gpg-agent ? $ gpg --lock-never --no-verbose --batch --yes -d zz.gpg gpg: AES256 encrypted data gpg: failed to start agent '/usr/bin/gpg-agent': No such file or directory gpg: can't connect to the agent: No such file or directory gpg: problem with the agent: No agent running gpg: encrypted with 1 passphrase gpg: decryption failed: No secret key Why does gpg look for secret key ? This is symmetric encryption. What does it need secret key for ? Any way to circumvent this ? thanks, _______________________________________________ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
