[ale] gpg keyring backup / restore

[greg.freemyer at gmail.com (Greg Freemyer)]

All,

I have a tar backup of my .gnupg directory.

Not sure how, but that directory seems to have become corrupt and gpg
is not showing any keys.

I hoped (assumed) I could just restore the tar file and all would be good.

Seems not to be true.

Is there a work around?  In particular, I did not export my private
key and back it up as an ascii file, so ...

Thanks
Greg
