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?
