[packman] openSuse 11 (i586) 'openSuse Updater' shows your public gpg key is expired # 2

[Patrick Martin]

Here's the actual gpg key info as shown in openSuse Updater   >   GPG Keys:

     Key: 45A1D0671ABD1AFB

        * Name: PackMan Project (signing key) <packman at links2linux.de>
        * Finger Print: F8875B880D518B6B8C530D1345A1D0671ABD1AFB
        * Created: 09/18/2006
        * Expires: 09/17/2008 (The key is expired.)

What I reinstalled/imported to get this key info was:  
*gpg-pubkey-1abd1afb.asc*   that I just grabbed from you.

Though I run Smart Package Manager as well, my openSUSE Updater shows
the following exception nowadays:

    Refresh failed: . Error: refusing unsigned file repomd.xml Error:
    Could not refresh repository 'Packman Repository': Valid metadata
    not found at specified URL(s) History: - Signature verification
    failed for repomd.xml . Error: refusing unsigned file repomd.xml
    Error: Could not refresh repository 'Packman Repository': Valid
    metadata not found at specified URL(s) History: - Signature
    verification failed for repomd.xml

I saw before I deleted this Packman gpg key, it expired on 9/17/2008. 
Please update your gpg key, and please link from your main page.

I want to turn Packman back on in openSuse Updater, I'm actually amazed
SPM hasn't choked as well, though with it I still haven't figured out to
see which mirrors I actually query.  (I used to understand its workings
reasonably well, off and on I go back with Suse to 9.2 it seems)...

Thanks,
