This is your primary key and it has been taken offline ..^.. marked by
the pound sign.  Only the primary key can be used to sign other keys.

This is a signing subkey on a card with s/n *17386.

This is a authentication subkey on a card with s/n *17386.

You need to go the the machine where you have stored the private part of
the primary key.  Or get that key using its keygrip (see the "grp" line)
and put it into the ~/.gnupg/private-keys-v1.d/ directory.  But you
probably took the key offline for improved security and thus you better
don't re-import it and indeed use the other box for key signing.
