Trying to install skype on fedora 12

following a suggestion in a web posting i created a file skype.repo in /etc/yum.repos.d/

Code:

[skype]

name=Skype Repository

baseurl=http://download.skype.com/linux/repos/fedora/updates/i586/

gpgkey=http://www.skype.com/products/skype/linux/rpm-public-key.asc

I then tried to install it

Code:

yum install skype

all went well untill it finished a 19MB 4 min download, then it said

Code:

Package skype-2.1.0.81-fc.i586.rpm is not signed

Obviously I did something wrong - can someone suggest what I should do?

Thanks - Dick

and returned to the prompt

Try this:

Code:

yum --nogpgcheck install skype

To install a pkg either you have import the public key of that pkg or you have to bypass the gpgkey checking by adding the line

Code:

gpgcheck=0

in skype.repo .
