Links:The GPG key used to sign all packages
"Since Red Hat Linux 8.0, rpm handles package signature checking internally. This is why you should feed rpm the public keys used to sign the packages you want to install, although it isn't mandatory. This can be easily done by downloading the RPM-GPG-KEY.txt file above then running : rpm --import RPM-GPG-KEY.txt rpm --import /usr/share/doc/redhat-release-*/RPM-GPG-KEY The second line will import Red Hat's main public key, which is recommended. This needs te be done as root of course, and after, you will be able to install packages that have a valid gpg signature by simply double-clicking them from nautilus, the GNOME file manager (although I don't find that very intuitive). Using a dependency tool like apt or yum is much more practical. " Copyed from www.freshrpms.net copyrights reserved to www.freshrpms.net GoodLuck Hope that works for you :jawa: |
The first import worked and then i was able to install the package but for some reason the second command did not work and resulted in an error.
rpm --import /usr/share/doc/redhat-release-*/RPM-GPG-KEY error: /usr/share/doc/redhat-release-*/RPM-GPG-KEY: import read failed. more help por favor |
did u do the 2nd command as root also try
"rpm --import /usr/share/doc/redhat-release-*/RPM-GPG-KEY.txt" |
