launchpad complains that my key is expired even though I renewed it

Asked by Dan Connolly

I'm trying to attach an OpenPGP key to my account; this one:
http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x6E52C29E

Launchpad complains that it expires. It did expire, but I have since updated the expiry date, following the instructions in the gnupg manual...

http://www.gnupg.org/gph/en/manual.html#AEN329

Where do I need to put my updated key so that launchpad will see it?

Or is this a bug/limitation in launchpad?

You could try to upload the key directly to the launchpad's keyserver:

$ gpg --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --send-keys 0x6E52C29E

If that doesn't work, please contact me on #launchpad @ irc.freenode.net
I'm usually there from 12:00 - 22:00 UTC.
