Public Key Not Installed

For some reason yum is having problems the past day. Every time I try to install something with yum I keep getting an error like:

warning: rpmts_HdrFromFdno: Header V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 1aa78495

Public key for libid3tag-0.15.1b-3.fc5.rf.i386.rpm is not installed

Edit: I meant to add that if I try to get a key I get this:

[root@localhost ~]# rpm --import http://rpm.livna.org/RPM-LIVNA-GPG-KEY
warning: cannot get exclusive lock on /var/lib/rpm/Packages

You have an unfinished rpm update hanging out there, perhaps?

Code:

ps -ef | egrep 'rpm|yum' | grep -v 'grep'

Well that seems to have worked. I am not getting the no key error when yum tries to install things now. Thank you very much!

getting public keys

I'm trying to install linneighborhood and when I do a yum install I get this message:

Public key for linneighborhood-0.6.5-3.2.fc6.rf.x86_64.rpm is not installed

How do I get a public key for this?

In case someone hit this thread like I did:

The provider of your .rpm signed it with its private key to proove it is a genuine file from them.
We can verify it with the public key (but not sign, see wikipedia RSA PKI about public/private keys FYI)

Practically that means you need to find the public key and import it
in my case it was a file named: RPM-GPG-KEY ( from Red HAt distro)

suggestion: find / -name "*GPG*"

then import the public key with: rpm --import *GPG*
and it should be ok.

In my case:
Public key for openoffice.org-libs-1.1.5-10.6.0.2.EL4.i386.rpm is not installed
[root@taz isoCDs]# rpm --import /mounted_RHEL4.6-i386-ES-disc4/RPM-GPG-KEY
[root@taz isoCDs]# yum install openoffice.org.i386
...

Cheers,
Philippe

When I tried this I got:

root 2663 1 0 Aug12 ? 04:26:58 /usr/bin/python /usr/sbin/yum-updatesd

Tried yum update python and got:

....
Could not find update match for python
No Packages marked for Update/Obsoletion

Instead of originally installing the regular rpm package, I then installed the source RPM package according to:

http://wiki.inisec.com/index.php/Iperf

and the application installed and ran great. I am really appreciating the ease of Debian/Ubuntu updates....I am giving up on redhat/centos and the RPM stuff soon.

Thanks a million pweltz.
I hit this thread and I was completely stuck. Your contribution really helped!

[root@taz isoCDs]# yum install openoffice.org.i386

In my case one of these keys worked:
sh-3.2# rpm --import /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-redhat-beta
sh-3.2# rpm --import /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-redhat-auxiliary
sh-3.2# rpm --import /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-redhat-release

There are oter option to install RPMforge

If you dont have installed the GPG Key, you will go to "Dag RPM Repository FAQ page" (dag.wieers.com/rpm/FAQ.php#B2) and see the section "How to configure to use RPMforge" you can use rpm command into list of the GPG keys by Linux distribution.

You can sometimes add the --nogpgcheck flag and skip the key verification.

Code:

yum install --nogpgcheck yum-downloadonly

you can disable the check by editing /etc/yum.repos.d/your_file.d and writting gpgcheck=0

Now that almost ten years have elapsed, creating an account and logging in to "thank you" for this information as I install a completely unrelated application on Cent OS. THANK YOU!!!

agree, it's the simpliest way

yevgeniyo
you do realize this is a 10 YEAR old thread

and that fedora NO LONGER uses " yum"
so there is NO yum.conf any more

so you are saying the simplest way is to use something THAT DOSE NOT EXIST

Don't be nudnik please. My answer was related centos or rhel...
