I was trying to import an old pgp key into rpm and it is failing without a useful error message about why. The key needs idea, but I have that installed. I don't know if there is a bug, a limitation or user error. [root@cerberus rpm-gpg]# rpm -vv --import gpg-pubkey-bruno D: opening db environment /var/lib/rpm/Packages create:cdb:mpool D: opening db index /var/lib/rpm/Packages create mode=0x42 D: locked db index /var/lib/rpm/Packages error: gpg-pubkey-bruno: import failed. D: closed db index /var/lib/rpm/Packages D: closed db environment /var/lib/rpm/Packages D: May free Score board((nil)) I exported the key with: gpg --export --armor The key is: -----BEGIN PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) mQCNAi4QRoMAAAEEANdxLMwIrLVJj298ORThEmEELSkHRNhtR8afomd8dKJOLE3r PKB4maGwQoOQPcOvATBhtQbOGLw9aLYdqOBqXi2o33y89TilRAneH0fKIRVDhwXr bpT+JBwU4FNRXyoQ0jJInIPnellqMVBxVtjajiWhZ8/qKOz14auclAPcXnktAAUR tCBCcnVubyBXb2xmZiBJSUkgPGJydW5vQHdvbGZmLnRvPokAlQMFE0WdzOKrnJQD 3F55LQEBTC4EAIHVLVDxBARGpnT7u3yT9Nj0qoUISCnqrkOICRgr3a6i6JQpmt+V WG36wtch0YrcJZ6AB6ugGPdAt5zQ1KJkNCW+JfgJRVFSJV/3kGJVqRGmHmhFK0uV dLsFsGOFRQKu+Rj0sJ9XQqtToODOTRSg76ngn4ysgh1ywatLimWn8ezD =S/q8 -----END PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK----- -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
