Hi again,
pls. look up this posting: "Re: Unsigned Package" by shrek-m at gmx.de on 
the 20th.  This may help you to understand where to use gpgcheck or not.

An example of yum exclude that I had to use when gnomemeeting gave a 
dependency error:  "yum --exclude gnomemeeting udate".  Hopes this make 
sense to you.

Regards,
Truls
