Hi Gpg Developers

On May 15 2023, we installed and were looking at using GPG a server.   We c=
reated  the proper Public and Private key and Pass Phrase.   The decryption=
 and encryption was working well for a few weeks until on June 13, 2023 the=
 decryption failed.

Upon review, we received a "No Secret Key" error - nothing changed on the m=
achine.  We also noticed that the Public and Private key were no longer vis=
ible in the armor i.e.  Gpg -list-keys    {returned blank}

What would cause the keys to be removed?    We did notice that an install o=
f GPG occurred on the server on June 13.

Can a GPG Auto Update remove the Keys inside the Armor ?    If so, how can =
we disable GPG Auto Update feature

After much review,  and  "by chance"  we re-imported the Public.key and the=
 TrustDb.Key and the Armor was repopulated with the old Key information and=
 the decryption started to work again

Any advise or information is appreciated

Thank you
Rafael
