Yum does not manage/check the gpg keys. The RPM process yum runs in the background checks the gpg key, and then it can do so only after the user has explicitly used rpm to import the key to the local rpm system.
Can you please explain this cron output to me, then? I'm not understanding what's going on in light of what you're saying:
/etc/cron.daily/yum.cron:
warning: rpmts_HdrFromFdno: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 1ac70ce6 public key not available for fortune-mod-1.99.1-2.i386.rpm Retrieving GPG key from http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/extras/RPM-GPG-KEY-Fedora-Extras Importing GPG key 0x1AC70CE6 "Fedora Pre Extras Release <pre-extras@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>"
The commands that are being executed are these:
/usr/bin/yum -R 10 -e 0 -d 0 -y update yum /usr/bin/yum -R 120 -e 0 -d 0 -y update
Out of /etc/cron.daily/yum.
Note that I had already imported the public key for Fedora Extras to install the fortune-mod package that was updated by yum. Why does yum appear to be downloading and installing a new key?
I suspect you have a "gpgkey" entry in your repo configuration for Fedora Extras. See the description of "gpgkey" in "man yum.conf".
