Hello everyone,
I had this error yesterday when i wanted to restore the backup of all my personal files.
Can someone have an idea of what I could do to restore all my data ?

GPGError: GPG Failed, see log below:
===== Begin GnuPG log =====
gpg: données chiffrées avec AES
gpg: chiffré avec 1 phrase secrète
gpg: block_filter 0x000055613ba13570: read error (size=9188,a->size=5092)
gpg: Attention : le message chiffré a été manipulé.
gpg: block_filter: pending bytes!
===== End GnuPG log =====

Even if you have just a clue, I take it :)

   I can provide more details about my situation if it can help.

   I was on Ubuntu 16.04 when I save all my /home.
   Then I copy the archive on my external HD.
   And now, I am on Ubuntu 17.10, and I can't decrypt my data :/

   Can someone have a clue ? The block_filter error may be linked with corrupt data. Is that correct ? and in that case, can I arrange this ? Thanks for the help, I really need my files back.

   I copy the GPGError again, but in english.

   Synchronizing remote metadata to local cache...
