nPth signature
Hi gnupg-users,

I think that nPth is might be signed with an expired signature.
Is this a problem?

Thanks!

P.S.
I downloaded from https://gnupg.org/ftp/gcrypt/npth/npth-1.6.tar.bz2 and https://gnupg.org/ftp/gcrypt/npth/npth-1.6.tar.bz2.sig

This is what I see when I run

> gpg —-verify npth-1.6.tar.bz2.sig

When I run with a trusted gpg.


gpg: assuming signed data in 'npth-1.6.tar.bz2'
gpg: Signature made Mon Jul 16 07:37:23 2018 UTC
gpg: using RSA key D8692123C4065DEA5E0F3AB5249B39D24F25E3B6
gpg: Good signature from "Werner Koch (dist sig)" [expired]
gpg: Note: This key has expired!

The release date of nPth 1.6 is 2018-07-16 and the files were signed on
the same day.
On 2018-07-16, the key D8692123C4065DEA5E0F3AB5249B39D24F25E3B6 was
valid and not expired yet.

Here's a note about these old expired keys: https://www.gnupg.org/signature_key.html
The key with fingerprint 4F25 E3B6 is not listed on that page, but I checked that it is indeed
included in that old public key block: https://gnupg.org/devel/old-signature-keys.asc
