I have a file encrypted with GPG suite 2 years ago...
I need it now and tried to decrypt it but the resulting zip file is 0 bytes :((
What does that mean ?
I also tried the CLI and Im getting
gpg: CAST5 encrypted data
gpg: encrypted with 1 passphrase
gpg: decryption failed: Bad session key
EDIT
If I put --batch the file is decrypted but I cannot find it anywhere
gpg --passphrase "mypassword" -d --batch --ignore-mdc-error myFilePath
gpg: WARNING: message was not integrity protected

Questions: (1) What is your operating system? (2) Is gpg the latest version? (3) Or is gpg the same version as encrypted the file? There have been reports about gpg version 2 having problems decrypting gpg version 1.4.

OSX 10.14.1, latest GPG using homebrew, not sure what was my version of the encrypted file; I was using GPG tools at the time 2 years ago

Try to replace your current homebrew version by GPG 1.4.
One alarming text from the above link:
GnuPG 1.4 is the old, single binary version which still support the unsafe PGP-2 keys.
As the last version 1.4 dates from only 5 months ago, this might explain why
your current version doesn't support your keys format, if they are in the
PGP-2 format.
(General note: When files are encrypted, one should always take in account
the possibility that software changes might make decryption impossible
after some years. Encryption is not a long-term solution.)

Thank you for the suggestion I'll try I went to the link but this is not a binary... I am not familiar how to compile.. :s is it possible to install with brew ?

actually I managed to install it and tried to decrypt but no success with the same command as above. gpg (GnuPG) 1.4.23

Nov 17 at 21:11
actually it worked but different command usinggpg --decrypt file > file.zip
– jotyhista
Nov 17 at 21:20
could I please ask a last advice, now I managed to decrypt; I would like to uninstall the 1,4; how can I do that with files I had to compile myself, brew is saying that v2.21 is already installed so I have a conflict I guess, if I dogpg --versionI get 1.4
