Update apk when previous certificate will expire before 2033

Question

I've to upgrade an android app on the market.

I try to sign with app with my previous certificate (Certificate expires on Thu Oct 08 10:22:43 CEST 2020.) and the market return the following error:

"Market requires that the certificate used to sign the apk be valid until at least October 22, 2033. Create a new certificate."

If I try whit a new certificate the market says

"The apk must be signed with the same certificates as the previous version"

What's the solution for that?

What will append in 2020 if Google will change the limit to 2043? Nobody can update this app?

Unfortunately, you can't, unless you change the package name.
