That's Fine!  There is *no* security weakness there; as long as the Key
size is 2048 you should be in great shape.

Assuming you still have control over your 'compromised' Key you may wish
to generate a Revocation Certificate for it and Import it into your Key
and then send the Old/Original Key (now Revoked) to the Keyservers so no
one will attempt to use it in the future.

Word of Caution:  If you have any Files encrypted using the Old/Original
Key; Decrypt them first.
