The culprit was this file:

$ ls -l ~/.gnupg-ccid/trustdb*
-rw-------  1 guru  wheel  1280 23 may.   2017 /home/guru/.gnupg-ccid/trustdb.gpg
-rw-------  1 guru  wheel  1280 11 oct.  14:02 /home/guru/.gnupg-ccid/trustdb.gpg.20191011

after renaming it and restoring the previous version (not modified for
ages) of trustdb.gpg all is fine again. What caused the change on
October 11 remains unclear so far.
