Hello!
Some time ago I have made a backup of my secret key and all the
subkeys, and then deleted by-hand the master secret key by

        rm ~/.gnupg/private-keys-v1.d/[keygrip].key

The subkeys were moved to a yubikey. Everything was great. Now I wanted
to import my master key for a moment... and here we have a problem.
Right now what happens, after running

        gpg --import secret_key.asc

is:

        1) gpg complains:

        gpg: key D444252908A80B6D: "sxrmn" not changed
        gpg: key D444252908A80B6D/D444252908A80B6D: error sending to
        agent: Invalid argument
        gpg: key D444252908A80B6D: secret key
        imported
        gpg: Total number processed: 1
        gpg: unchanged: 1
        gpg: secret keys read: 1
        gpg: secret keys unchanged: 1

        2) gpg -K is aware of the master secret key, though it says
        it's not there:

        sec#  ed25519 2022-07-06 [SC]
        902404424B39514B6126A2F2D444252908A80B6D
        uid    [   absolutne   ] sxrmn
        ssb>  cv25519 2022-07-06 [E]
        ssb>  ed25519 2022-07-06 [S]

        3) seret subkeys get imported (now they are back on yubikey,
        but they got imported OK)

So... any ideas why this happens and what can I do about it?
