Funny.  I just added the 10 year expiration as a test.  at first it
still showed as expiring.  but now its showing as 10 years just as
yours(i have 8.02 as well).

perhaps PGP does not understand the 'never' option.

| Okay, I looked at it, and your problem seems to be a 1-year key
| expiration date set on the photo ID.
