I have no use for 'gpg' apart from s/ware downloads/installs.  but this is what
I see, for the distribution's key:

root@crow:~# gpg --version
gpg (GnuPG) 1.4.21
  ...

root@crow:~# gpg --list-keys
/root/.gnupg/pubring.gpg

sub   1024g/4E523569 2003-02-26 [expires: 2038-01-19]

not sure why the format of the second field differs.  sorry.
