key expiration

Hash: SHA1

The private key export is missing the signature packets on the first 2
IDs.  I guess thats why they show as revoked.  must be a bug.

| 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.
| |
| | That said, I don't know why PGP is using that particular expiration
| | date since there are later self-sigs that give a 10-year expiration
| | date.  My copy of PGP (8.02) shows it correctly as 10 years.
