You have PGP 2.x-style user IDs.  The "primary" command only works
with OpenPGP user IDs.

You can upgrade your key if you like.  Do "gpg --expert --edit-key",
and enter "sign".  GnuPG will ask you if you want to upgrade.  Say
yes.

Note that by upgrading, your key will no longer be importable into PGP
2.x.
