| I faced this problem some months ago with my own key.

| IIRC, I simply edited the key and removed the expiration date ;)

i'm curious about this. whenever i list my own key using gnupg, i get:

pub  1024D/90414D8C 2002-01-30 Jason M. Harvey <jason@theigloo.dhs.org>
sub  1024g/47B34D0B 2002-01-30 [expires: 2007-01-29]

even as another user on another box. i'ved done 'gpg --edit-key' and
told it to expire never. i just installed gpa to see what it was like...
it tells me the key never expires. so, which should i believe gpa or
gpg??!

thanks,
jason
