<pre wrap=""> Apparently you added kde-redhat to the yum.conf. You'll also need a GPG
key for that.
You'll note that it says kde-redhat in the error message, too.

<pre wrap="">And I guess that gpg checking is turned back on for that repo in your
yum.conf (or yum.repos.d/kde-redhat.repo) file, since you've turned off
gpg checking by default as you mentioned earlier.
A better option would of course to be to import the kde-redhat gpg key
and turn on gpg checks for *all* repos.
# rpm --import <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://kde-redhat.sourceforge.net/gpg-pubkey">http://kde-redhat.sourceforge.net/gpg-pubkey</a>-

<pre wrap="">Thank-you.
That solved the problem perfectly. Now I am baffled as to how you
figured that out. I did a grep on my /etc/yum.conf file, and while
*kde-redhat* was found in the the error message, *kde-redhat* is NOT
present in my /etc/yum.conf or the error message.

Traditionally (i.e. yum < 2.1.x), all yum repositories were configured
in /etc/yum.conf. However, with FC3 comes yum 2.1.x and a new, more
flexible way of handling repositories, which is by adding a file per
repository in /etc/yum.repos.d. The Fedora FAQ still uses the older
style "big yum.conf file" as an example, but that doesn't mean that
repositories can't be added in /etc/yum.repos.d too.
Now, the error message you were getting specifically stated that (a) the
failing repositories were kde-redhat, and (b) that the failing GPG key
was "key ID ff6382fa".
So, off I went to the kde-redhat site at <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://kde">http://kde</a>-
redhat.sourceforge.net/. On that page it says that for FC3 you should
"Download kde-redhat.repo and drop it in /etc/yum.repos.d/". That file
has gpgcheck=1 in it. So that would explain (a) how come you were using
kde-redhat repos when you didn't mention them in your yum.conf, and (b)
why it still wanted the GPG key even though you had turned off GPG
checking in yum.conf. Moreover, the kde-redhat site also says "All kde-
redhat RPMS have been gpg signed. To allow rpm to check this signature
on installing any packages, you'll need to download and install gpg-
pubkey-ff6382fa-3e1ab2ca". Since that key ID matches the one your yum
was complaining about, that confirmed my suspicions.
Elementary! ;-)
I trust you've now turned GPG checking back on in yum.conf?
Paul.

Oh, I turned it back on immediately after loading the GPG key from
kde-redhat, but thanks for the reminder.<br>
<br>
The key piece of datum that I doubt I would have gotten on my own was
the fact that the website for kde-redhat is
kde-redhat.sourceforge.net. I don't find that URL in any of my
configuration files, the error messages or any of the the yum FAQs I
googled.<br>
<br>
Thanks again!<br>
