From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Opera/7.54 (X11; Linux i686; U) [en] Description of problem: If yum is configured with "gpgcheck=1" and then attempts to install or update a package that is unsigned, it fails with "unsigned package <path>". Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): yum-2.1.11-4 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. configure /etc/yum.conf with "gpgcheck=1" 2. yum update <some-unsigned-package> 3. Actual Results: unsigned package <path> yum dies Expected Results: yum should generate a warning about the package not being signed, but should continue. yum should NEVER "bail", "punt", or "quit" because of a recoverable error or, especially, because of a warning condition. Additional info:
1. yum doesn't die, it exits with an error message. 2. an unsigned package when gpgcheck=1 is an error. If it was not then a person who broke into a repository could simply put an unsigned rpm into the repository and 'boom' they own all those machines. this is not a bug.
