Description orders1 1999-12-30 22:20:13 UTC 
sharutils-4.2.1-1.6.1.i386.rpm is not signed by Redhat gpg key.
Don't know about other architectures.
Comment 1 cobbe 1999-12-31 16:55:59 UTC 
The corresponding SRPM isn't signed either.
Comment 2 Aleksey Nogin 2000-01-03 21:04:59 UTC 
Also, sharutils-4.2.1-1.5.2.i386.rpm isn't signed.

I noticed, that this problem (unsigned packages in updates) occurs quite often.
Do you think it would make sense to write a script that checks all the packages
submitted to updates for being properly signed?
Comment 3 berv01 2000-01-05 04:42:59 UTC 
What I noticed was that the md5sum from the package (sharutils-4.2.1-1.6.1) did
not match the one on the advisory web page, at least for the i386 and SRPMS. I
wonder what caused this...

this has been fixed.
