I've got a serious gpg problem on one workstation. I've spent hours trying to solve it, and need to get some ideas from someone experienced. I'll give full details if anyone volunteers.

go for it, you never know :)
One new piece of evidence. Running 'gpg --list-keys' returns many lines like
$ gpg --list-keys gpg: checking the trustdb gpg: [don't know]: invalid packet (ctb=00) gpg: keydb_search failed: invalid packet
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

On my fc4 system, it live in the .gnupg directory in my home directory.
I presume you mean the trustdb.gpg. I copied that from my old install directory, but then the messages seemed to indicate that pubring.gpg could be the problem, so I copied pubring.gpg and pubring.kbx. Now attempting to list keys gives me many more than previously, but then ends with
gpg: [don't know]: invalid packet (ctb=00) gpg: keydb_search_next failed: invalid packet
