[Psi-devel] PGP subkeys

[Martin Milata]

Hi,

 i'm not sure whether this list is the right place to bother with my
problem - if it isn't, please ignore me.

I have pgp key consisting of master key and a subkey:

 $ gpg --list-keys b42
 pub   1024D/C6C24D64 2007-03-03
 uid                  Martin Milata (JID) <b42 at njs.netlab.cz>
 sub   4096g/F67B8348 2007-03-03
 sub   2048R/7BD24E87 2007-03-03 [expires: 2009-03-02]
 sub   2048g/6A990DC4 2007-03-03 [expires: 2009-03-02]

When I select this key in my account properties, psi starts to advertise
the subkey - 7BD24E87 - which is, if i understand correctly, right
behavior for using pgp key with a subkey. No problem so far.

But when someone tries to assign a pgp key to my contact, psi fails to
locate the key and the person has to choose it manually. There's only
master key ID (C6C24D64) shown in the list, so if psi searches for
advertised key in it, obviously fails.

My question is: is this a psi bug, or am I doing something wrong? Should
I have the keys differently arranged, or not have the subkeys at all?
(if I understood correctly, it is preferable to have master key, which
cannot expire and a subkey which can and use the subkey for actual
communication)

Tested with Psi version 0.10 on linux.

Thanks in advance & excuse my poor english.
