your screenshot suggests that you're doing all of this on some remote
machine via ssh (it looks like you're using putty on windows).  You
haven't mentioned what operating system you're using, though.

Anyway, gpg might want to use pinentry to gather the passphrase from the
user, and it's not clear that you have the right environment set up for
pinentry.

whatever package manager you have, can you install pinentry-curses and
try again?
