Fw: GPG problem

Good Morning Everyone,
 
  
 
I have recently been working on a new Linux system with GPG 2.2.20.
 
  
 
I have had no problem generating the key pair. Then I have used the new public key to encrypt a file without problem.
 
However, the decryption attempt has failed due to no secret key error.
 
  
 
I have tried to look around for an answer and fix but failed.
 
  
 
I was puzzled at the output from “gpg –export-secret-key”.
 
  
 
I have posted all the related information at inline text attachement.
 
  
 
Any help for clue and fix will be greatly appreciated.
 
  
 
Thank you,
 
Shaoping
