Which means that you already migtated from 2.0 or 1.4 to 2.1 or later.
That is the private keys are now stored in separate file below the

directory.

Take care - that secring.gpg is only used by older gpg versions.

Right, you still use the pubring.gpg - not a real problem but no so
common.  Something with the migration didn't worked out.  The
pubring.gpg can't be used for gpgsm (S/MIME) and thus a pubring.kbx
should have been created during the migration.

Your trustdb has an ultimately trusted PGP-2 key.  gpg can't disaply the
fingerprint anymore and thus you see the zeroes.

You should

   gpg --edit-key YOURKEY

and enter "trust" to set your key back to ultimately trusted.  This will
given you back the WoT.

You have several PGP-2 keys in your trustdb.
