public key

[korgull]

Hi,

Just upgraded succesfully to FC3 on 2 machines, but just can't update using 
yum. It receives all packages well, but fails with :
public key not available for //var/cache/yum/updates-released/packages/.......

I know how to import a key but I don't know which one I should import.

Anyone knows which key I need ?

Regards,
Marcel

This brings up a good point.

It would be REAL helpful if key failure messages gave indication as to 
the key id that is missing from the keyring.

I know both yum and up2date have this problem.  (up2date is worse as it 
gives you a message on each and every file that fails, which is a pain if 
you have a large batch of updates from Rawhide.)

download the redhat key from https://www.redhat.com/security/team/key/
and save it as a file, perhaps redhat.gpg
then rpm --import redhat.gpg

This one also works :

rpm --import /usr/share/rhn/RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora

Stupid that I needed about 2 hours to find out. It's mentioned on the fedora 
site.
Anyways, I think this should work out of the box so perhaps can be improved 
next time.

I've had only minor issues :
booting with ide=nodma solved one of them and this key issue took some time to 
figure out. This is by far the most smooth upgrade ever on my machines (dual 
head desktop & a laptop)

A very nice job of the Fedora team !

Regards,
Marcel

I've been working on this for longer than that!  Thanks for your posting.
