At the risk of exposing Myself to ridicule; whether or not One chooses
to utilize a Signing-subkey or not; during construction of /any/ Key the
choice is made available to assign attributes to said Key. {Sign,
Certification, etc.]  therefore, without knowing which Key it is
difficult to fully diagnose the issue in Question.  Could You possibly
provide the Key ID? [0xWTFxxxxx]  This will allow other folks a chance
to examine possible causes.  [this assumes the Key is retrievable via ID
from Key Servers]  If the Key is unavailable from Keyservers, could You
kindly provide the Key Block for Import/Examination?
