I switched to a more recent nightly build tonight, and got this helpful piece of advice:

Your key [...] will expire in less than 30 days.

We recommend that you create a new key pair and configure the corresponding accounts to use the new key

I'm not sure where the idea that keys who are close to their expiry date should be scrapped and replaced came from, but it's something we need to stomp out, not encourage.

Instead, the advice should be to extend (or better yet, eliminate) the expiry, and republish to the key servers.

Meanwhile, there is a problem with the routine itself ... they key in question has already expired. I'm not sure if that's a problem with the detection code, or if there is simply no message other than the one presented. But either way it should be fixed.

hope this helps,

Doug
