<p>I was on Ubuntu 16.04 when I save all my /home.<br>
Then I copy the archive on my external HD.<br>
And now, I am on Ubuntu 17.10, and I can't decrypt my data :/</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>I copy the GPGError again, but in english.</p>
