I'm in the process of importing a public key from a business partner. We have always use GPG and never had a problem.
I’m importing this key using:
gpg --import "FileName.asc"
gpg: key AC260214: public key " FileName <FileName @ FileName.com>" imported
gpg: Total number processed: 1
gpg: imported: 1 (RSA: 1)
Then when I list the public keys I get:
pub 2048s/AC260214 2014-09-05 [expired: 1977-07-06]
uid FileName < FileName@FileName.com>
We can notice the expiration date of 1977.
If I try to encrypt a file with the key, I get:
gpg: FileName < FileName@FileName.com>: skipped: unusable public key
gpg: encryption of `/wm/file/workarea/encryptionKeys/TestFiles/Test.txt' failed: unusable public key
But when I import the same public key using OpenPGP GoAnywhere I can see a valid expiration date.
I was also able to encrypt a test file.
Is there a bug with gpg and public keys that has a future date of expiration? Usually other public keys I have imported never expire.
GPG Version info
-bash-3.2$ gpg --version
