     4  # Common error messages
     5  
     6  * Message: `gpg: filename: skipped: No public key`
     7  * Solution: Usually this means there is an item in
     8    `.blackbox/blackbox-admins.txt` that is not the name of the key.
     9    Either something invalid was inserted (like a filename instead of a
    10    username) or a user has left the organization and their key was
    11    removed from the keychain, but their name wasn't removed from the
    12    blackbox-admins.txt file.
    13  
    14  * Message: `gpg: decryption failed: No secret key`
    15  * Solution: Usually means you forgot to re-encrypt the file with the new key.
    16  
    17  * Message: `Error: can't re-encrypt because a key has expired.`
    18  * Solution: A user's key has expired and can't be used to encrypt any more. Follow the [Replace expired keys](expired-keys.md) page.

    20  FYI: Your repo may use `keyrings/live` instead of `.blackbox`. See "Where is the configuration stored?"

    22  # GnuPG problems
    23  
    24  Blackbox is just a front-end to GPG. If you get into a problem with a
    25  key or file, you'll usually have better luck asking for advice on
    26  the gnupg users mailing list TODO: Get link to this list

    29  The author of Blackbox is not a GnuPG expert. He wrote Blackbox
    30  because it was better than trying to remember GPG's horrible flag
    31  names.
