Re: [PLUG] can't change gpg key expiration

[Barry Spindler <archmage@i-o-r.net>]

You have to change the expiration of the subkey first (I think it will change
both if you just change the subkey). Just do the --edit-key like you did,
except before doing 'expire' select the subkey first by doing 'key 1'
It'll now show a * to the right of sub. (sub* 1024g/....) Then do expire, etc.
And it should now set expires: to never (if all went well :) 
To flip back to the primary key, just type 'key' and the * will go away.
