Yes, Stephan, that seems to have solved the issues I had with
verification. The command you suggested does not work as you wrote it -
I got words to the effect that the command was not recognised.

After consulting man gpg2, I tried the following and this worked.

gpg2 --import --import-options keep-ownertrust
~/path-to-my-key/mykey.sec.asc

Thanks,
