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.

FAEBD5FC 2000-03-11 [self-signature] 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.
