Well, my first "attempt to repair" would be to "open" the Key with the
Edit function in GPGshell and re-set the prefs (even if you keep them
the same) and then use the "save" Command.  Whenever one "tinkers" with
their Key a new self-signature is generated showing the date the "edit"
was performed.
