RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Comment 2 Panu Matilainen 2012-07-02 10:59:22 UTC 
Please attach the (public) test keys and re-signed autocorr* packages them for reproduction purposes.
Comment 3 GV 2012-07-02 17:11:36 UTC 
Sorry, I do not have those keys anymore. Anyway, I generated a new set of keys and everything was uploaded.

The problem I see with the corruption is because the second file (key2.txt) has 2 keys inside instead of one. rpm in Fedora 17 report an error when I'm trying to import the keys from second file.

Ah, that one... I suspected that much but wanted to be sure you hadn't discovered some other similar case. But yes, it needs fixing, thanks for filing the bug.
