Hi,

I have created a gpg key in my pc and the key was used for encrypting a 
file. Now for official reasons I had to shift to another pc and I tried 
to import my secret key also to the new pc. But I didn't find any way of 
doing it and so finally I copied the .gnupg folder from my old pc to the 
new pc. Now whenever I try gpg command I get following error

Unfortunately now I am getting the same error in my old pc also. Now I 
am stranded without any options for decrypting the file.

Can anyone please help me to come out of this mess?

TIA.
