README, samplekeys.asc Refer to Old Key
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Release: 1.4.2.2

Description

  1. README and doc/samplekeys.asc still refer to / include the (now expired) previous Distrib Signing Key.
  2. Half-related issue: Older versions (tried with 1.2.4) do not show expiration (date) of *primary* keys, only subkeys. Both Distrib Signing Keys mentioned above are affected, which may lead to confusion when trying to verify a to-be-installed newer distrib.

Fix

ad 1. Update docs

ad 2. Point updaters at the workaround of using --edit-key (followed by "quit") instead of --list-keys
