Im trying to use YUM with Fedora3, (I previously used apt-get), and I must be doing
something stupid, but I cant see it.
in /home/ftp/yum/fedora3/RPMS.os I have the RPMS from the 4 binary CDs
in /home/ftp/yum/fedora3/RPMS.updates I have all the updates to date.
I have run yum-arch on each of them, viz
yum-arch /home/ftp/yum/fedora3/RPMS.os
yum-arch /home/ftp/yum/fedora3/RPMS.updates
my /etc/yum.conf file reads
[root@orion etc]# more /etc/yum.conf
[main]
cachedir=/var/cache/yum
# debuglevel=2
debuglevel=10
logfile=/var/log/yum.log
pkgpolicy=newest
# distroverpkg=redhat-release
tolerant=1
exactarch=1
retries=20
obsoletes=1
# gpgcheck=1
gpgcheck=0
# PUT YOUR REPOS HERE OR IN separate files named file.repo
# in /etc/yum.repos.d
[base]
name=Fedora3 Core base
baseurl=ftp://orion/yum/fedora3/RPMS.os
gpgcheck=0
[updates]
name=Fedora3 Core updates
baseurl=ftp://orion/yum/fedora3/RPMS.updates
gpgcheck=0

When I TRY to run 'yum update' to bring this initial install up
to date, I get the message:
[root@orion ~]# yum update
Repository base already added, not adding again
Yum Version: 2.1.11
COMMAND: yum update
Installroot: /
You have enabled checking of packages via GPG keys. This is a good thing.
However, you do not have any GPG public keys installed. You need to download
the keys for packages you wish to install and install them.
You can do that by running the command:
rpm --import public.gpg.key
For more information contact your distribution or package provider.

Now I have several problems:
(1) why is it saying 'You have enabled checking of packages via GPG keys'
when I turned that off in [main] and in each section???
Because the ftp repos you specified turn it back on again. I think
"gpgcheck=0" is ignored with ftp or http repos, but I won't swear to it.
(2) The command 'rpm --import public.gpg.key' does NOT work, I get:
root@orion ~]# rpm --import public.gpg.key
error: public.gpg.key: import read failed.
You need to:
# cd /usr/share rhn
# rpm --import *-GPG-KEY*
# cd /usr/share/doc/redora-release-3
# rpm --import *-GPG-KEY*
# cd /usr/share/rpm-4.3.2
# rpm --import *-GPG-KEY*
to import all of the keys.
(3) What is this message
'Repository base already added, not adding again'
Just an advisory message that it's already loaded the repository and
doesn't need to do it again. It's safe to ignore.
