Well, that's kinda depressing: it makes it look as if GnuPG has crashed
and exploded into disorganized fragmenets.

I'm on Debian Stretch, which has packages named gnupg and gnupg2.
As an experiment, I've "sudo apt-get purged" both (which doesn't seem
to affect the $HOME/.gnupg directory) and then "sudo apt-get installed"
them, but that doesn't change anything.  I'm toying with the idea of
purging them, deleting $HOME/.gnupg, and re-installing them.

Also, as I've mentioned elsewhere on this thread, with the -vvvv
option, gpg actually seems to admit to finding some keys, while
denying that there are any:

    peter@buchen:~$ gpg -vvvv --list-keys
    gpg: using character set 'utf-8'
    gpg: using classic trust model
    gpg: key AF01E13F42FE3A7C: accepted as trusted key
    gpg: key 0DAA9AE933B859C9: accepted as trusted key
    peter@buchen:~$
