I have been using gpg (GnuPG) 2.1.18 on a debian linux for several years. In the last few days, I have noticed that symmetric encryption is not working.
The command gpg -c --cipher-algo AES testfile creates testfile.gpg after asking for a passphrase. However, the command gpg testfile.gpg yields the message > gpg: WARNING: no command supplied. Trying to guess what you mean ... > gpg: AES encrypted data > gpg: encrypted with 1 passphrase and creates a plaintext file without asking for a passphrase. -- My e-mail service is unreliable. Please try again if no reply in a few days. gpg: F7C9 B577 1E5D C732 63F1 A9D2 A399 D202 50E8 50D1 _______________________________________________ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
