without EXPLICIT warning that it is generally not a good idea and
why tjhere may be enough uneducated users who starts thinking
"well if something does not run disbale gpgcheck is a solution"

a fc17 package has nothing to search in a F16 setup and so there
should be no single help to install it with any workaround

this package has to be reported as a bug and not forced
to be updated with or without gpgcheck
