Code-signing error "The specified keychain is not a valid keychain file"

Subject: Code-signing error "The specified keychain is not a valid keychain file"

For the past week or so I’ve been unable to code-sign any apps. The codesign tool fails with an unhelpful error "The specified keychain is not a valid keychain file”, which is the error message for errSecInvalidKeychain (-25295).

I’ve checked my keychain in Keychain Access and it seems OK. (There used to be a Keychain First Aid command, but I can’t find it anymore.) The only weird thing is that the My Certificates category is empty — it used to have a bunch of identities in it from Apple and some other sources. The Apple developer certs are still there in the Certificates section, though.

I wouldn’t expect that to result in errSecInvalidKeychain, though. Any idea what’s going on?
