Yeah, I have that from time to time, too; it means you don't have
the 'key' from one of the sites that 'proves' it came from the original
site. It keeps you from getting faked files and spending your Linux
career fighting viruses like we did under Windows. :)
You'll need to get the key...it's usually pretty simple, something
like:
rpm --import /path/to/the/key/you/download
...and you won't have that anymore.
It's safe, it's a good idea, and I whole-heartedly endorse the
idea. They usually put a link to the key (a text file) on the main
site, and you just download it and run it through the command above, and
then you can toss that file. Beware, though; I'm giving you that
command from memory- I might have forgotten something.
Good luck!
