I thought I had recovered the APT signing key, but it turns out the
answer is "not entirely"
I have, however, found a pristine revocation certificate in the same
file, so I can at least do that,

As far as I can tell the problem is that the sec key as-recovered has
a corrupted salt, the ssb key is fine, and unlocks with the known
passphrase. The sec key is what is needed to sign the archive.

Does anyone think that they know enough to recover the keys? Email me
privately if so, given that LinuxCNC runs as root it would be very bad
indeed if the keys escaped, so I probably won't be sharing the
passphrase unless I really feel I know you. But I will happily try the
passphrase on any key you recover.

As an indication of what I have to work with, I have a block of text
that begins:

(protected-private-key (rsa (n #00D1854
