Default Peeling Paint - door frame

Hi,

Have a case of peeling paint on the door frame. Looks fine, but if you
scrape it, even with a finger nail, it comes off quite easily. Was painted
before my time. There's a layer of paint, under the one that's peeling.

Suspect it's a case of latex on oil, without a primer. Removing the top
layer would be a mess. If I primed the top layer with say Kilz (or
similar), would the primer penetrate the latex and attach itself to the
layer below?

Do not know the age of the top layer, but could be 5 years.

TIA,

RichK
