My key 0xA8A90B8EAD0C6E69 is an obsolete version 3 key and cannot be
imported into GnuPG 2.1.

That key will still work with GnuPG 1.4.x or 2.0.x.

I do not have the key in a newer format, and have not yet investigated
whether there is any useful way to achieve this. I understand it is
possible to convert the same key material from an OpenPGP key to an
X509 certificate and vice versa, so I presume it's technically
possible to convert a v3 key to a v4 key. But I am not optimistic that
such a converted key could be used to check signatures made by, or
decrypt data encrypted to, the original v3 key.
