OK, got it. It appears that the primary key is indeed revoked. The
openkeychain screenshot implies that the primary key is a "subkey",
which is incorrect, but this does not appear to have affected the
validity calculation.
If I look at the key in gpg, it also shows that the primary has been
revoked:
```
pub rsa3072/0xA3ED3C7160B7E73F 2026-04-27 [SCEA] [revoked: 2026-05-24]
C18FAB74166C6BBB2196B5B5A3ED3C7160B7E73F
reason for revocation: Key has been compromised
revocation comment: private key was copied during backup operation
```
Do you see something different in yours?
How did you revoke the subkey? The usual procedure on the command line
would be:
```
gpg --edit-key <key-id>
key 1
revkey
save
```
The critical part being "key 1" that selects the first subkey (it should
show a "*" beside the subkey after you do it). If you don't select the
subkey then you will revoke the primary. Beware also that if you say
"key 1" twice, the second will undo the first (because it is a toggle)
and you will still revoke the primary.
