GPG Encryption/Decryption Failing

[A NiceBoy]

Hello Sirisha,

I read from Mozilla's official documentation which states that SOPS
command-line client is preferred, the SOPS library should be used only
for decryption.

The link is here: https://godoc.org/go.mozilla.org/sops/v3

>This package should not be used directly. Instead, Sops users should install the command line client >via `go get -u go.mozilla.org/sops/v3/cmd/sops`, or use the decryption helper provided at >`go.mozilla.org/sops/v3/decrypt`.

>We do not guarantee API stability for any package other than `go.mozilla.org/sops/v3/decrypt`.

My two cents.

Best regards

However when trying to execute this code the gpg library seems to be failing at keygeneration most of the time with the following error.
