Thanks -- but that didn't do the trick.
$ gpg --list-secret-keys
gpg: starting migration from earlier GnuPG versions
gpg: porting secret keys from '/home/felix/.gnupg/secring.gpg' to gpg-agent
gpg: key 783876E9182E8151: secret key imported
gpg: key 44752F7C4D3D351A: secret key imported
gpg: migration succeeded
$ gpg --list-secret-keys
$
Says it imported the secret keys, but doesn't show them. Don't think it's
permissions; the only read-only files are options, gpg-agent.conf, and
.gpg-agent-info. Killed gpg-agent; it restarted fine, but gpg still doesn't
show the secret keys.
I'll have to try the export-import angle later; the old machine is old enough
that physically copying files requires some legwork.
