PGP key and expiration

Asked by Claude Paroz

My PGP key has an expiration date. I extended it recently on the PGP server (see gpg --list-keys <email address hidden>).
But Launchpad seems to keep the old expiration date. I tried to desactivate the key, but I'm not unable to reactivate it ("the key has expired") or import it again ("the key already exists").
I should have a mean to tell Launchpad to check the new expiration date of the key on the key server (it should do it at least at reactivation time).

Do not assign random teams to support requests. This question seems to be one for the launchpad-users mailing list.

These teams are support contacts for all Launchpad support requests.
They were automatically subscribed to this tickets and will be for all
launchpad requests.

Ah ok I see. May I ask why? It's not exactly, that any of these teams could do anything about the way how Launchpad works or are the right QA contact.

I helped Claude to solve this issue over IRC. Here's a summary of what we have
done so far:

    - First confirmed that Claude's key (with the new expiration date) wasn't
      uploaded to any key server;
    - Asked him to upload it with the following command: $ gpg --keyserver
      keyserver.ubuntu.com --send-keys <email address hidden>;
    - Confirmed that the server now have his key at:
      http://keyserver.ubuntu.com:11371/pks/lookup?search=paroz%40email.ch&op=vindex
    - Instructed him to try to revalidate the key again which he did without
      success. He got the following message:
      'The key 16946297 cannot be validated because it has expired.'

I think now that last step failed due bug 3052.

I agree with you. It seems to me that a member of those teams added the whole
team as a support contact to Launchpad. If you are a member of any of those
teams and think they're wrongly subscribed as the support contact, you can
unsubscribe here:

Thank you very much Diogo for the explanation, I removed gnome and desktop-bugs from that list.

Hello Claude,

I'd suggest you to try again. You might be able to successfully re-validate your
key now. Yesterday we had a code rollout that restarted the application
servers, cleaning the $GNUPGHOME env variable mentioned on bug 3052.
If it doesn't work, please contact me over IRC.
