ah ok the reason im doing a test is I am building a single cd fedora core load (base+core) with snort, clamav, tripwire, chkrootkit, mondo/mindi, snmp and webmin (with ssl deps). So far its all installing fine and 249 files at 272980k in size for a cd. The only thing left is kickstart automating the configuration to apply the firewall, bastille-linux, and package config changes to make it all tidy. Since the rpms are in a local directory, I check them to find any dependencies I may have missed and also any problems with bad sigs. Im going back to 'man rpm' to see if I find out how to tell it to use the regular db as well. But if anyone knows offhand and would post it, that would be great. thanks, Greg On Sun, 2004-01-11 at 17:56, Michael Schwendt wrote: > On Sun, 11 Jan 2004 16:19:48 -0600, Greg wrote: > > > rpm --test --dbpath /tmp/testdb -Uvh *.rpm > > Why do you "--test" against an RPM database in /tmp/testdb? > To test against your regular RPM DB makes much more sense. > > > warning: acl-2.2.7-2.i386.rpm: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 4f2a6fd2 > > warning: basesystem-8.0-2.noarch.rpm: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID > > db42a60e > > > > Ive followed previous posts on getting the updated sigs and I dont have > > any warning with using yum updates.
