looks like a librpm issue, reassigning to rpm
The error message is coming from mozilla: mozilla-1.0.1-26.i386.rpm: Header V3 DSA signature: OK, key ID db42a60e Header SHA1 digest: OK (fe02024782cca0c9e569000546d27b01af163730) MD5 digest: OK (46dbe5e58ff89f16978689c3385bde11) V3 DSA signature: OK, key ID db42a60e What does cd /var/spool/up2date rpm -Kvv mozilla-1.0.1-26.i386.rpm say? If that passes, then there are no obvious (to me) rpmlib issues. I am confused, however, why the MD5 is being calculated at all, as there is a DSA signature on the package. The choice of what package signatures/digests to calculate when is an up2date, not rpm, coding issue. So what is the rpmlib issue?
I can't perform the "rpm -Kvv" command on the rpm package in /var/spool/up2date. As shown in the attached log, the package was deleted after the install.
Sounds like you just got a corrupted package on download. up2date runs a md5sum check on packages to see if they are complete and not corrupt. If this check fails, you get a error message like the above, and then up2date downloads the package again. So the message is a warning, and is harmless.
