[Opendnssec-user] [hsm] unable to get key

One of my zones (I have several on the same OpenDNS instance, the
others seem to work) is no longer signed. The log says:

Checking the keys:

% sudo ods-enforcer key list --zone cyberstructure.fr --verbose

I see that the "not found" key is the current ZSK, which is bad.

First, an emergency: how to solve the problem before the expiration of
signatures? Can I force a "rollover" of the ZSK and, if so, how?

Then, longer term: what happened?

OpenDNSSEC 2.0.4 running on Debian "stretch" (stable). "HSM" is
SoftHSM 2.2.0.
