Unable to find secret key

[Prashanth Mohan]

Hello,

I am able to encrypt my messages using GPG, but i am not able to decrypt
them. I have only 1 secret key in my keyring. I also tried passing the
keyid with the decrypt command. It still says it cant find my secret
key. What am I doing wrong?


/tmp$ gpg -K
/home/prash/.gnupg/secring.gpg
