Thanks. I opted to extend the key life as I don't suspect that my key has been compromised.
I think that in doing so the the gnupg program/handbook is not very good in explaining how to select key. I find it quite confusing that if you start the program with --edit-key [subkey-id] and issue a expire command - then I am offered to extend the life of the primary key. This let me to the conclusion that is was not possible to extend the validity on a subkey. My fault and now every thing is great for the next 5 years ;-) -- Klaus
