Description
I have a file that I encrypted from the command line using "keybase pgp encrypt myname -i myfile.7z -o myfile.7z.pgp"
I try to decrypt with "keybase pgp decrypt -i myfile.7z.pgp -o myfile.7z" and I get:
- ERROR (code 1505)
This is on Windows. Most of my pgp encrypted files decrypt just fine, but I have a couple that are giving me this error message. What does this error code mean? How do I fix the file so that it will decrypt correctly?
