Hello,
I'm not able to decrpyt message as I received hereafter message about using
subkey instead of primary key.
Is this correct ? Could it be the problem relies on the usage of this subkey ?
If yes, how to manage my keyring regarding this
subkey (which is obviously used for en/decrypting not for signing) to be able
to decrypt ?
gpg -v -v --decrypt msg.asc
