** Description changed:

  The Ubuntu keyserver website (http://keyserver.ubuntu.com and
  https://keyserver.ubuntu.com) shows incorrect expiry times for subkeys
  of some keys (though what specific conditions must be met to cause this
  bug, I am not sure). However, the key material stored on the keyserver
  is correct, and thus if the key is downloaded and imported into a local
  OpenPGP client (e.g. GnuPG), all expiry times are reported correctly.
  Thus, this bug only appears to affect the website frontend (that is, the
  expiry times which users will see if looking at search results on the
- website). This appears to be because the expiry times shown on the
- website for subkeys are computed as:
+ website). It seems that the expiry times shown on the website for
+ subkeys are being incorrectly computed as:
  
      *PRIMARY KEY* CREATION TIME + *SUBKEY* VALIDITY DURATION;
  
  rather than:
  
      *SUBKEY* CREATION TIME + *SUBKEY* VALIDITY DURATION;
  
  where:
  
      - PRIMARY KEY CREATION TIME refers to the key creation timestamp
        stored in the key's Public Key Packet (packet Tag 6);
  
      - SUBKEY CREATION TIME refers to the subkey creation timestamp stored
        in the Public Subkey Packet (packet Tag 14) for a given subkey; and
  
      - SUBKEY VALIDITY DURATION refers to the value given in the
        Key Expiration Time field (signature subpacket Type 9) of a
        Signature Packet (packet Tag 2) that pertains to the given subkey;
  
  subject to the definitions given in RFC 4880.
  
      * * *
  
  For example, the key with the following fingerprint exhibits this bug:
  C62A 7455 5725 AB6D BA14  D1C2 92C8 C442 E2EE C796; which can be found at:
  https://keyserver.ubuntu.com/pks/lookup?search=0x92C8C442E2EEC796&op=index
  
  The key expiry times stated in signatures listed for:
  
      - the primary key (0xE2EEC796, created at 2019-01-10T00:03:22Z); and
  
      - the subkey which was created at the same time as the primary key
        (0x6C9E5795, also created at 2019-01-10T00:03:22Z);
  
  are correct, but those listed for the other subkeys (0xD0D6987A,
  0x0D75406B, 0x98CD505A) are incorrect, in the manner described above.
  (NOTE: The creation times of the signatures themselves are listed
  correctly; it is only the key expiration times that are affected.)
  
  In particular:
  
      - the expiry time of 0xD0D6987A given in the signature created at
        2020-06-24T19:51:57Z is listed as 2019-07-06T01:36:20Z, when it
        should be 2020-06-30T23:59:59Z;
  
      - the expiry times of 0x0D75406B and 0x98CD505A given in each of the
        signatures created at 2020-07-01T00:00:01Z are listed as
        2019-01-10T00:03:24Z, when they should be 2020-07-01T00:00:02Z.
