key expiration

Its beginning to look like a keyserver issue.  I dont think some servers
are liking the 'never' option for key expiration.

So either gpg is not sending the date to the servers correctly, or the
servers are not liking the 'never' option.


I exported as .asc file.  the public key export imports perfectly.  The
private key is a different story.

First the private key import has the first 2 ids as revoked.  Second, it
has the first encryption subkey expiring as never(which is wrong.)

Note, those first 2 ids were created long ago when I was still using
pgp.  but i since 'updated' my preferences so that they are the same as
the las 2 IDs.  So I do not konw what is still so special about them
they they are listed as revoked.



is their a way gpg can tell whats in the asc file without importing it?

| Okay, I looked at it, and your problem seems to be a 1-year key
| expiration date set on the photo ID.
