yum reports package "- is not signed"

Hi,

I have configured yum server on my RHEL 5.x box. I just tried to install a particular RPM which is in fact a reference manual of MySQL.

Here is what I did:

First, listing the available packages:

Code:

[root@mahadeva ~]# yum list available
Loading "rhnplugin" plugin
Loading "security" plugin
This system is not registered with RHN.
RHN support will be disabled.
Available Packages
mysql-refman-5.6-en-pdf.noarch           1-20100903             myApps

Secondly, installing the above RPM:

Code:

[root@mahadeva ~]# yum install mysql-refman*
Loading "rhnplugin" plugin
Loading "security" plugin
This system is not registered with RHN.
RHN support will be disabled.

Total download size: 33 M
Is this ok [y/N]: y

After confirming the download process I am getting this message:

Code:

Downloading Packages:
Package mysql-refman-5[1].6-en-pdf-1-20100903.noarch.rpm is not signed
[root@mahadeva ~]#

How to tackle it?

yum install --nogpgcheck may fix your problem.

from your out put

Code:

.....
This system is not registered with RHN.
RHN support will be disabled.
....

you might WANT to fix that
using RHN will make your life MUCH easier
for starters you get bug fixes and security fixes and software updates

But it's not good to install a package without checking.
