Let's look at your key:


    $ gpg --list-options show-unusable-subkeys,no-show-uid-validity \
            --list-keys Ullrich

    pub   dsa1024 2007-12-05 [SC]
          984893FB397A9E4E4834898FE27C63AA5F093FF8
    uid                      Hans-J. Ullrich [...]
    uid                      Ullrich-IT-Consult [...]
    sub   elg2048 2007-12-05 [E] [expired: 2008-12-04]


It tells us that your master key (dsa1024) has [SC] capabilities, which
means that it can create message signatures [S] and certificates [C].
The key also has a subkey (elg2048) with encryption [E] capabilities but
the subkey has expired in 2008-12-04 so it is not used anymore.

You can create a new encryption subkey if you want to add an encryption
capability: --edit-key + addkey. You can also modify the expiration date
of your existing subkey: --edit-key + key 1 + expire.
