If you've still got a working GNU/Linux system, you can retrieve the list o=
f=20
keys, if not just get them from a keyserver. All your signatures should be =
on=20
the keyserver. (Unless you're using lots of local signatures).

The important point is the ownertrust which is not stored within the public=
=20
keyring - so once the keys are imported from a keyserver, you may still hav=
e=20
a usable ownertrust database.

Get the keys themselves from keyservers. (Always better than stale keys fro=
m a=20
keyring file).

Copy the ownertrust or just re-run gpg --update-trustdb. It doesn't take to=
o=20
long for gpg to calculate who you can trust from your signatures and show y=
ou=20
which keys you need to update.
