Unknown GPG signatures

[Anthony Richardella]

Should I worry about packages I download using up2date that 
give an "unknown GPG signature" error? After installing Test 
2 and running up2date there's about 20 packages that give 
this error.

There are also other files like initscripts-7.49-1. After 
installing it, it still stays that the installed version is 
7.48-1.

What I've done when I get those errors is I use yum to update that
particular package.

I think it's a bug in up2date - but no, don't just allow it - it may be
an indication that the package did not properly download (or that the
up2date mirror you are using was hacked - I don't know that that has
ever happened, but gpg is there to protect you when it does)

I solved my unknown signature problems by importing all of the
signatures in /usr/share/doc/fedora-release.
