gpg --list-packets asks for passphrase

Hello,

when I do: "gpg --list-packets file.gpg" on public key encrypted file, I
am asked for passphrase.

I am asking gpg to display info about encrypted message, not to decrypt it.

Why am I prompted for passphrase?

thank you,

So that --list-packets can show you the encrypted content with all the
inetresting packets. Hit cancel and you are done.

Please note that the output of --list-packets is strictly for debugging
purposes and may change without notice.
