One new piece of evidence. Running 'gpg --list-keys' returns many lines like

then correctly lists a few. It looks as though the database is corrupt. Now if I knew what it is called, or where it lives, I could restore a backup copy. Does anyone know? Thanks
trustdb.gpg resides in ~/.gnupg, you probably would have previously backed up that directory in order to replace that file.
Hi, Furlan. Yes, I knew that, but that wasn't where the problem was. It was actually in pubring.gpg and/or pubring/kbx. I restored backups and now all is well.
Thanks for trying to help.
