<div>
--list-secret-keys should show you which of the public keys returned by --list-keys has a secret key.<br />
<br />
I don't have pgp cli any more (I went to gpg ages ago) but seem to recall -v (verbose) mode on the decrypt gave more info on what it was trying to use to decrypt? the message implies that you have one or more of the public keys encrypted to, but not the private key required to decrypt

My key is listed using -list-keys<br />
Don't understand why I get NO PRIVATE KEY COULD BE FOUND FOR DECRYPTION

No private key could be found

Encryption is the process of encoding messages or information in such a way that only authorized parties can read it. In an encryption scheme, the intended communication information or message, referred to as plaintext, is encrypted using an encryption algorithm, generating ciphertext that can only be read if decrypted. For technical reasons, an encryption scheme usually uses a pseudo-random encryption key generated by an algorithm. An authorized recipient can easily decrypt the message with the key provided by the originator to recipients, but not to unauthorized interceptors.
