Package: gnupg Version: 1.4.12-7 Severity: minor Dear Maintainer,
today I generated a new key (0xfaaad43b), and I set the expiration date to 24 months. I had expected this to be the same as two years, as it is defined in the calendar. In fact, it is ten days less. It looks like gpg assumes that one month = 30 days, so a timespan of one month from today, according to gpg, ends not on March 24th, but on March 26th. This is obviously wrong. GnuPG should use the measure month as defined in the calendar. Alternatively, it could define its own measure, but then it should be named differently. Thanks for your efforts!
