Greetings Scott,

 : Can anyone help with an upgrade from 1.0.4 to 1.4.6 on AIX.  We 
 : have installed the new version, but are running into issue with 
 : the keys on the existing key rings.  We are getting errors that 
 : gpg is questions whether the keys actual belongs to the person 
 : named in the user ID.  We have run the --rebuild-keydb-caches, 
 : but are still getting that error.  Can anyone provide some input 
 : on what we need to do to fix this issue?

It has been several years since I performed the update from the 
1.0.4 series to the 1.2.X series (or was it 1.0.6?), but I recall 
encountering a problem very similar to yours when moving keys from 
the 1.0.4 series.

I believe that you'll want to make sure you have trusted the key 
ultimately.

  shell$ gpg --edit-key "$KEYID"
  Command> trust
  Command> 5      # -- for ultimate trust of the identified key
  Command> y      #    yes, you want to ultimately trust this key

  shell$ gpg --update-trustdb   # -- not strictly required

Then try using the key again.

Good luck,

- -Martin
