How to resolve following error in decrypting a file?
-2
gpg: AES256 encrypted data
gpg: encrypted with 1 passphrase
gpg: decryption failed: Bad session key
I am doing decryption by following command
gpg --passphrase-file /path/to/key --output /path/to/output --decrypt /path/to/file
It again ask for passphrase and results in above mentioned error.
When i fed this error to search engine i encountered many questions which mentioned the last line 'Bad session key' and most of their answers said it may be because encryption was done by GnuPG version 1 and decryption is done by GnuPG version 2. However in this case both the version are 2 and also i didn't find this exact same error in any question.
I am doing this on Termux on android.

Was the data encrypted with an older version of GnuPG?

What, if anything, did your favourite search engine suggest when you gave it the error message?
