Thanks for the hint!

Newer versions of gpg2.x reject signatures using the unsecure hash
algorithm MD5. If all self-signatures are stripped off this way, then
gpg rejects the whole key because of a missing self signature.

Maybe this can be repaired by the key owner by issueing a newer self
signature using a newer hash algorithm. However, this can only be done
for V4 keys.

Keys like this are old, usually almost 20 years, and are in V3 format
(which will no longer be supported in GnuPG 2.1) and typically have a
key length of 1024 bits, altogether indications that the key is
end-of-life. The owner should be generating a new key pair.

Please create a debug log file for a "refresh all". Instructions for
this see here:

Please either obfuscate personal information before posting here or send
an encrypted mail to me.
