Add a space between --import and /usr/share...

Dear Dave:
Thank you very much for the tip. The invocation "rpm
--import /usr/share/rhn/RPM-GPG-KEY" completes with no errors now. Even
better, the "yum upgrade" got past the original problem once I did a "yum
clean" followed by the original "yum upgrade".
I was mistakenly (sic) thinking there was no space and taking the original
hint at face value.
Single character options (those starting with a single dash, e.g. "-x")
generally don't require a space between the option name and its value as
the parser knows only the first character is the option name (e.g. the
parser knows "-x9" means "option x, value 9).
Multi-character options (starting with "--") ALWAYS need a space (the
parser doesn't necessarily know "--fredbarney" means "option fred, value
barney", but will try to interpret it as "option fredbarney").
If you always use a space between options and their values, you won't go
wrong.
