Thanks for the replies. I think I didn't provide enough information.
When I run mvn clean install -Papache-release, it prompts me for my gpg
passphrase and I enter it on the command line, where it is masked. After
that it gives the error. I think the problem is that, after 5 years and
several computer and OS upgrades, I've lost my private key. I will need
to create a new key.

I haven't tried this particular profile. The only thing I can think of is
that you need to have some other command line parameter to allow maven to
get your private (key) password.
You cannot pass your password on the command line because anyone who does
ps-ef can see your password in the plain. So it has to be some file or you
type it into the maven command.
It may be that you need to configure the nexus repository to do this.
I use the Maven release plugin to release DataNucleus and following the
Sonatype guide(s) I ended up editing the users ".m2/settings.xml" with
(something like)
<profiles>
<profile>
<id>development</id>
<properties>
<gpg.passphrase>YOURPASSPHRASE</gpg.passphrase>
</properties>
</profile>
</profiles>
<activeProfiles>
<activeProfile>development</activeProfile>
</activeProfiles>
and so I never have to enter the passphrase at release. HTH
