Decryption error (block_filter read error)

How do I compute sha1sum in GPG? I can't seem to find an option that
computes sha1sum in the GPG manual.

Thanks,
Devaraj.

That looks pretty much like currupted data. 

Check that you received the message intact, for example by asking the sender
to provide a sha1sum and compare that to the sha1sum you got.
