From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686) Gecko/20030610 Galeon/1.3.7 Description of problem: "rpm --import" consistently fails with a segmentation fault when trying to import my public key. The failure happens before import; no new "gpg-pubkey-*-*" package appears in RPM's list. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): rpm-4.2-0.69 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Export my public key in ASCII form using: gpg --export -a 42692271 >key.asc 2. Become root. 3. Import this key using "rpm --import key.asc". Actual Results: rpm command failed with a segmentation fault. Key has not been imported. Expected Results: rpm should have completed without segmentation faulting. Key should have been imported. Additional info: The URL cited above will give you my ASCII-armored public key as exported by PGP. I'll attach the same thing, exported by GnuPG, to this bug report. Note that my key is an RSA key, not a DSA key. The RPM documentation claims that both are supported. If RSA is not supported, then the documentation should be updated and RPM should present a diagnostic error message instead of simply failing.
Created attachment 93651 [details] public key which causes "rpm --import" failure
rpm-4.3.1 fails as follows: # rpm --import /tmp/pubkey.asc error: /tmp/pubkey.asc: import failed. Assuming fixed. AFAIK RSA/MD5 is understood by rpm. Note that rpm supports only a subset of OpenPGP.
