warning: rpmts_HdrFromFdno: Header V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key
ID ff6382fa
GPG key retrieval failed: [Errno 5] OSError: [Errno 2] No such
file or directory: '/etc/pki/rpm-gpg/kde-redhat.RPM-GPG-KEY'
Is it telling me I have a missing gpg key or that the file isn't there?
It looks to me like everything it needs is in
/etc/yum.repos.d/kde-redhat.repo which I assume is where the kdebase
file is coming from? I'm probably wrong ...
But what do I need to fix? Where can I find the key if that's what's
needed? Updates normally happen without a hitch!
It looks like you are using the kde-redhat repo but don't have their key
installed. Go to kde-redhat.sourceforge.net and follow the instructions.
Alternatively, it may be that the package is not properly signed. In the
past, the error message was, IIRC, briefer and misleading.
Ok, I might be able to fix this if I knew what the file name was
supposed to be?
/etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-kde-redhat
I put the gpg key in that [my best guess at a name] but I still get an
error. Not
only that but I have never needed to insert keys with a text editor to
make yum updates
work! I have something messed up somewhere. I've been updating this
computer for a
week and suddenly this?
download the file you find here
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=65974&package_id=72321&release_id=136335
named gpg.rexdieter-kde-redhat.key
then you can import it into rpm with the command
rpm --import <path/to/gpg.rexdieter-kde-redhat.key>
After that yum should work to install files from the kde-redhat project.
Ok, did that.
Then I spent the last four or five hours messing with yum updates
and wringing out problems as best I could.
I did yum clean all and then was able to update kdebase which was
producing an error message.
I then had to yum remove spamassassin and exclude=perl* which
permitted yum update to do most of what was required to update the
system.
Obviously something is broke, I still don't know what, I am still
working around problems. I believe the trouble was the result of my
having killed yumex when it got off on some tangent and virtually
paralyzed this old computer. Apparently my impatience resulted in
corruption of some files.
I suspect that I will have to remove and re-install yum to restore
things. It wants some gpg keys but the error messages are useless
in determining which key it requires since it never tells what repo
has failed.
Yum run from the command line is a neat tool as long as it works.
