Yes.  This is intentional since GnuPG sees you importing a key that
doesn't currently exist... but at the same time sees that key has
ultimate trust in the trustdb.  Since GnuPG normally deletes trust
when a key is deleted, this means there is a mismatch between the
trustdb and the keyring(s).

gpg --trustdb-name ./temp.trustdb .......
rm ./temp.trustdb
