The software works fine. The user has either lost the secret key file
or has forgotten the passphrase. I don't know a technical solution,

Nope, that's NOT the problem.  They keys all exist.  The passphrase is
known.  The problem is that software removed support for the
keys/algorithms in which the data is encrypted.  This is absolutely a
technical problem with the software and is completely solvable.
