It looks like yum is failing to download the repomd files, and since it is unable to, it errors. pirut then displays a nasty traceback rather than a friendly error message. pirut 1.2.4 should have a fix for the error message. not sure about the root cause of being unable to download the file, however.
Now when I try Add/Remove Programs, that message does not appear so I get further Nothing is shown under browse If I do Search, then check a package and do apply I get a popup: Unable to verify (packagename) when I click details I get Public key for (packagename) is not installed I have tried it for packages gftp and openssl097a I get the same public key warning from yum, preceded by this line: warning: rpmts_HdrFromFdno: Header V3 DSA signature: NoKEY, key ID 897da07a How am I meant to do updates ?

It looks like you just need to import the gpg keys. Running the following should work: find /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/ -name RPM-GPG* | xargs rpm --import
thanks - that lets me do updates. Will it be setup automatically in future ? I still get no entries in the browse window of add/remove programs
(In reply to comment #5) > thanks - that lets me do updates. You're welcome :) > Will it be setup automatically in future ? More automatically, anyways. yum/pup/etc will prompt you when its missing a gpg key to import one, showing the the key signature. The idea here is that you can verify that it is the correct key, so as to not compromise your system. > > I still get no entries in the browse window of add/remove programs > 'browse' shows package groups. RHN does not have a concept of package groups, which is why this screen is empty. the next release of pirut will notice that there are no groups, and instead bring up the 'list' view by default.
Thanks - I think that answers all, so you can close the case. when I schedule a hardware refresh and do rhn_check I get Error refreshing system hardware" (code 12) Is there a quick fix, - if not which component to I log this under ?
