Description of problem:
My problem is the up2date - when I use GPG, I often get GPG errors in
received updates. So I turned off GPG, and now get unpacking errors in many of
the same packages (kernel, evolution, to name just two!).

The only method I have available is dialup, and this can take hours (or a night)
for just a few package updates. Then when it errors out, that time is wasted. 

What am I doing wrong. Incidentally, I got all the same errors, with all the
same packages, the last install I had running (different machine).There isn't a
lot of sense for me to try to update anything - much of it fails.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
All update packages

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.up2date -u

are you running out of disk space?  that's a common cause of gpg key failure

Comment 2 jike.zhou 2003-06-04 00:58:42 UTC
No,i have enough free space.
