Issues with libgcrypt 1.12.4-1 with pre-existing keys

Hello,

I created some gpg keys not too long ago to use for signing/auth on github. I presume the keys were created under libgcrypt 1.12.3-1 because it wasn't very far back that I did it.

However, when I upgraded to libgcrypt 1.12.4-1, my gpg keys were corrupted. I had to downgrade the package back to 1.12.3-1 and re-import the keys from backup. I am currently holding the package from updating until I know what to do.

I am using Arch Linux with KDE Plasma, and using keyboxd. I don't know if keyboxd is a factor or not. But that's all I can think of.

Is it possible to re-import the keys after upgrading to 1.12.4-1 and regenerating the gnupg directory? Or do I need to wait for 1.12.5-1?

I suppose if I had to I could generate new keys and update my Github. But if there is an alternative I'd be open to it.

Thank you,
