Can someone at redhat please repackage yum properly :(

In the meantime while we wait another day or so you can do the following.

yum --nogpgcheck update

first off this isn't a yum bug. it's something up in the signing/push processes
in bodhi, etc

second it's not packaged improperly, it's just not signed properly.

finally, I'm closing and reassigning this to general distribution b/c it is known

thanks.

OK thanks Seth.

For future reference, what would be the best way to report a packaging issue?

well, if it is a packaging problem a bug report against the package is fine.

this is a distribution problem and should be filed against 'distribution', as I
reassigned it.

OK. Thanks for the clarification. I understand the distinction now.

Thanks

*** Bug 420771 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

Peculiar.  This is listed as a x86_64 bug.  My AMD 64x2 box did not have this
problem but my P4 box (single CPU) did.

I initially reported it as x86_64 because that's where I first saw it, but I
also experienced the problem an i386 distro version.

I've changed the hardware field in this bug to noarch, in case I've got
permissions to do this.

Re comment #10.  This has nothing to do with architecture.
The package in question is "noarch".  See bug 420771 for
an explanation why now you see that, and now you don't.

This message is a reminder that Fedora 8 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 8.  It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.  At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '8'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 8's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 8 is end of life.  If you 
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this 
bug to the applicable version.  If you are unable to change the version, 
please add a comment here and someone will do it for you.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events.  Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here: 
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping

This specifically was cleaned up, and I believe the mash configs for updates have been changed so this will no longer happen.
