Key in keyring signed but not valid?

[Scott Lambdin]

Good day:

             --list-sig shows that a certain key is signed by the private
key that signed all the other keys, but still --edit-key shows "Validity:
unknown"
Does anyone know how that can be?   While investigating, the key in one
keyring later turned to "Validity:  Full", seemingly without our issuing
any commands that would have caused it to change.  In another keyring, that
key remains "Validty:  Unknown."
