Comment 1 John Fletcher 2007-10-27 09:15:26 EDT

From some further exploration I find 

1. There are a number of other packages e.g. gcc-c++ which are unsigned.
2. Not all packages are signed.
3. This check can be turned off but it is not clear how.

The error message is extremely unhelpful, as I have been running yum update and
installed a lot of packages, and now I want to add some more and they will not
load because of this.

There should be a more helpful message including instructions about the options.

This is particularly so as it does not happen with Fedora 7.

Thanks

John

Comment 2 John Fletcher 2007-10-27 09:24:51 EDT

I find in yum help what is needed is 

yum --nogpgcheck install emacs

The error message talks about signing and not gpgcheck.  It needs a connection
which is in the mind of the experienced. Please rectify this in yum.

Thank you

John
