There's no way to directly upgrade if your primary key is weaker than you'd like. You should create a new keypair and go out in the world and meet people who will sign your key. it doesn't have to be a pain :) Ana wrote up some good suggestions about how to do a key transition: http://ekaia.org/blog/2009/05/10/creating-new-gpgkey/ Regards, --dkg
