After yet another fresh install of FC3, I tried to update with yum: [hennebry@24-117-46-53 ~]$ su - Password: [root@24-117-46-53 ~]# yum update
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. [root@24-117-46-53 ~]# rpm --import public.gpg.key error: public.gpg.key: import read failed. [root@24-117-46-53 ~]#
Now what? If the answer is RTFM, WITFM? Googling yum FAQ didn't help.
The "public.gpg.key" is not meant to be interpreted as literal text; it represents the GPG key for the repository you are trying to use.
So for the default repos in FC3, you can do:
# rpm --import /usr/share/doc/fedora-release-*/RPM-GPG-KEY
As for the FM, try this one:
