Description Glen A. Foster 2003-06-21 17:31:47 UTC

In general, it's an error for more than 1 copy of the same package
(name-version-release triplet) to exist in an RPM database... yet there's a
triple installation (3 copies of the same package, name-version-release) of
gpg-pubkey on my 8.0 system.  There's no corresponding SRPM listed in the rpm
header and the package contains no files.  It's clear from it's name what it's
function is, but I am under the impression that this system should only have 1
copy... perhaps a different version should exist for a beta GPG key, etc.

As for how to reproduce, I am not certain.  I know I've connected to RHN quite a
few times.  Someday I'll try a re-install of 8.0 and see if I get 3 copies from
the get-go.

... has no signature _on_ the package (duh) because it was build locally.

up2date usually is what imports the key.

Comment 3 Jeff Johnson 2003-06-25 16:42:17 UTC

Fix is to do the following
    rpm -e --allmatches gpg-pubkey
    rpm --import /usr/share/doc/rpm-4*/RPM-GPG-KEY

How multiple puplic keys got imported is a whole different
problem.
