Help!! Just last week I was able to decrypt files for our Vendor. I tried this morning and now I get the message below. The only changes that occurred was that another vendor key was added last week. The ELG-E Key is the same the message was encrypted with. Any insight to this message is appreciated. I read a few articles and it stated to delete secret key but I am not comfortable with deleting any key without some kind of guidance since I am a rookie at gpg. Anyway I am confused as to why I would need to delete the secret key when nothing has changed for this vendor. gpg: key 9EDEB618: secret key without public key - skipped
gpg: encrypted with ELG-E key, ID BEA2D168
gpg: decryption failed: secret key not available
Thank you in advance for any help that you can provide Connie

The actual error is:

gpg: encrypted with ELG-E key, ID BEA2D168
gpg: decryption failed: secret key not available

It appears that another key being added was not the only thing that occurred and someone has deleted the secret key the message was encrypted to. Do you have a backup to re-import?
