Hi All,

My old Gentoo box died. I'm trying to install pass on my new Gentoo box. I 
managed to copy my old home dir to a usb. I can see password-store directory 
and my gnupg directory. gpg --list keys shows the key I used to originally  
encrypt my password. I have also installed the gnupg package.

I ran pass init [email protected]. The new .gpg-id 

contains one line with "[email protected]". The original.gpg-id file on the 
usb contains the correct hex id of the key. I copied the contents orginal 
.password-store dir into the new one.   When I try to decrypt a password I get 
a "gpg:decryption failed: No secret key" error. I get this error regardless of 
which of the 2 entries are present in the .gpg-id file. Every time I've tried 
to decrypt there has been only .gpg-id entry. 


I have tried copying the orginal .gpg-id file to the new .password-store dir.

I have tried pass init [email protected]. 


I have tried pass init hex (in lower case) 


I have tried pass init  (in upper case) 


All the above result in a No secret key error.

I feel like I'm overlooking something obvious or making a rather simple 
mistake. 


I hope I'm not totally fucked. 


Any help would be very much appreciated.

Thanks
Sam Stone
