From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2; MultiZilla v1.1.32 final) Gecko/20021127 Description of problem: I'm guessing the warning might not be a bug, but if it isn't, then it being such an obscure message that doesn't tell me anything useful IS a bug. When I install RPMs, I get: # rpm -Uvh ~raul/downloads/xinetd-2.3.7-5.i386.rpm warning: /home/raul/downloads/xinetd-2.3.7-5.i386.rpm: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID db42a60e Preparing... ########################################### [100%] 1:xinetd ########################################### [100%] Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install an RPM. 2. 3. Actual Results: I get the warning. Expected Results: I should get something useful, like what the warning means, or anything. Right now I have no idea what to do that information, and man rpm isn't helpful. Additional info:
Do (as root) rpm --import /usr/share/doc/rpm-4.1/RPM-GPG-KEY to install Red Hat's public key and make the warning go away. Verify by doing rpm -qi gpg-pubkey There's no way for rpm or Red Hat or anyone other than you to define the usefulness of "trust" wrto digital signatures.
