--locate-key should try to fetch a key if the local copy is expired.
Closed, InvalidPublic

Description

Using the key with -r does this and thus --locate-key should behave the same. Given that we released 2.2 two and a half years ago and the default expiration time for new keys is 2 years, I give this a high priority.

Event Timeline

I am not able to replicate my own bug. At least since the introduction of --locate-external-keys the code paths are identical. I am nut sure why I filed this bug.
