Want to ping the list on this (copied by hand because I yummed
from a virtual console instead of X11):
-----------------------
warning: rpmts_HdrFromFdno: Header V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID
4f2a6fd2
Public key for evolution-data-server-1.6.2-1.fc5.1.i386.rpm is not
installed
Retrieving GPG key from file :///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora
Importing GPG key 0x4F2A6FD2 "Fedora Project <fedora@xxxxxxxxxx>"
------------------------
I found the key and fingerprint at
http://fedora.redhat.com/About/security/
after some indirect searching and checked that the fingerprint and
random pieces of the encoded key match.
What's the issue here?
Well, I had to drag my Mac Mini over next to the AMD box so I could
look at the ID and the public key referenced and then look them up to
check that I was letting the installer add a valid key. No big deal
really, just thinking that perhaps that particular key should have
already been in yum's pre-imported keys.
The key wasn't already present in your rpm database (have you never
done "yum update" on this system before?)
Fresh install. evolution-data-server was something like 170th of 320
packages being updated in the first sweep. Missing a pre-imported
key, same-old same-old, and I'm sure that when I get my hands free to
go look it up on bugzilla, there'll already be a bug or two for it,
just wondering if it had caused any noise on this list yet. Besides,
missing keys are not something one should keep hush-hush.
, so yum imported the repo GPG key from the file already on your
system from the initial install (/etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-
fedora) as it is configured to do by the repo file /etc/yum.repos.d/
fedora-updates.repo. It then used the key to verify that the
downloaded evolution-data-server package was intact and actually an
official Fedora package.
Yeah. That's what it's supposed to do when the key is not present.
It just seems a little strange that RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora was missing
from yum's collection of pre-imported keys. (That and I was really
tired at five this morning when yum complained, so having to take the
three minutes to drag the Mini over felt a little bit like an
inconvenience, GOL. I've got to get some sleep tonight.)
