This is what I get:
$ gpg --recv-key FAEBD5FC
gpg: requesting key FAEBD5FC from hkp server keyserver.kjsl.com
gpg: key FAEBD5FC: public key "Philip R. Zimmermann <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>"
imported
gpg: key FAEBD5FC: public key "Philip R. Zimmermann <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>"
imported
gpg: public key FAEBD5FC is 37319134 seconds newer than the signature
gpg: 3 marginal(s) needed, 1 complete(s) needed, classic trust model

gpg: next trustdb check due at 2008-08-17

Now with a different keyserver:
$ gpg --recv-key FAEBD5FC
gpg: requesting key FAEBD5FC from hkp server subkeys.pgp.net
gpg: key FAEBD5FC: "Philip R. Zimmermann <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>" not changed
gpg: key FAEBD5FC: no user ID for key signature packet of class 10
gpg: key FAEBD5FC: no user ID for key signature packet of class 10
gpg: key FAEBD5FC: no user ID for signature
gpg: Total number processed: 2
gpg: unchanged: 1
Now another keyserver:
$ gpg --recv-key FAEBD5FC
gpg: requesting key FAEBD5FC from hkp server pgp.uni-mainz.de
gpg: key FAEBD5FC: "Philip R. Zimmermann <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>" not changed
gpg: key FAEBD5FC: no user ID for key signature packet of class 10
gpg: key FAEBD5FC: no user ID for key signature packet of class 10
gpg: key FAEBD5FC: no user ID for signature
gpg: Total number processed: 2
gpg: unchanged: 1
gpg --edit-key FAEBD5FC

At every trustdb check, that key FAEBD5FC comes up with
'gpg: public key FAEBD5FC is 37319134 seconds newer than the signature'
Why?:
gpg: Total number processed: 2
gpg: unchanged: 1
Shouldn't it be: .....Total number processed: 1 (and not 2)?
"unchanged: 1" - At every download from a key server, *two* keys are
processed, and one of them has something new?
The primary key was created on 1998-06-13 never expires.
The encryption subkey was created 2000-03-11 never expires, and there is
a self signature dated 2000-03-11. Could that be a signature for the
modification of the subkey's expiration date?
And ...no user ID for signature... ?
I have no answers, only questions.
