In a Fedora 7 system, look in your system here: /etc/pki/rpm-gpg In there you see keys supplied with the system: RPM-GPG-KEY RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora-rawhide RPM-GPG-KEY-adobe-linux RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora-test RPM-GPG-KEY-beta RPM-GPG-KEY-livna RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora RPM-GPG-KEY-rawhide You need to do rpm --import RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora After that, the yum install will work. I don't have an F8 system booted up at the current time, but if the keys are somewhere else, I'm sure you can find them with find (here's how I found them: "find /etc -name "*RPM*KEY*". I guess they might be under /usr/share/doc/ instead of /etc. On a Scientific Linux 5 system I'm using now, they are under the doc directory. What puzzles me is that this key is missing from your rpm database. If it is not installed, it means you have never ever done a yum update. Which seems weird, given how old F8 is and how active you are in this list. And, usually yum will ask you if you want to install the key, and you say yes, and the install proceeds. Don't complain that pup or some other gui fails. I've stopped using them entirely. Either download the rpms you need and use rpm commands to install, or run yum from the command line. It is the only way that is either sure to work or give you enough information about what's wrong in order to fix it. yumex is the only gui RPM program I use anymore. Sometimes it is convenient if you need to search for RPMs by keywords.. -- Paul E. Johnson Professor, Political Science 1541 Lilac Lane, Room 504 University of Kansas
