In the past I added an expire to my key on --gen-key, which I later
changed to never expire.
A much more time later I saw, that my elgamal still has got an
expiration date and I can not find anything how I could change it.
Then I added a new elgamal, the 2048g/610BB46C one.
Is this right so? Can I edit the expire of the elgamal? What would
happen *now* if the elgamal 2048g/D6395C9A has been expired?
You can have different expiration dates on an OpenPGP key. The whole
key can expire, and individual subkeys can expire. If the whole key
expires, it takes all subkeys with it (whether they are expired or
not). If a subkey expires, only that subkey is expired. In your
case, you have a (whole) key without an expiration date, and two
subkeys, one with an expiration date and one without.
That said, what are you trying to do? What is the problem?
