Ok so i have a fresh install of fc3 after a horrible driver mishap. for saome reason apt wasnt installed although i just installed everything from all 4 disks anyways i install it via rpm and i am getting all these gpg errors and i figured maybe i was doing something wrong so i tried doing "yum upgrade and oddly enough i am having the same gpg errors with yum

and the output for apt-get is similar
any ideas...

The apt in debian has this problem in experimental. Downgrading apt helped for me. Don't know howe it works in fedora.

Have you installed the key for this repository?

wget http://svn.rpmforge.net/svn/branches...-KEY.freshrpms
rpm --import RPM-GPG-KEY.freshrpms

It sounds like that would fix your issue

ok that fixed the yumk issue part of my issue with apt-get is after the install it does the mirrorselect and none of the mirrors it gives me work properly i get a bunch of 404 not found errors so when i tried to make my own list i was getting the gpg errors but yum is working now so maybe i can wing it till i get it figured out.

I tend to have quite a few problems with YUM myself, if you want to use apt/synaptic it is quite easy(and I think nicer with a GUI), I use the following /etc/apt/sources.list file:

rpm http://ayo.freshrpms.net/ fedora/linux/3/i386 core updates freshrpms
rpm http://apt.atrpms.net/ fedora/3/en/i386 at-stable
rpm http://wftp.tu-chemnitz.de/pub/linux/dag/ fedora/3/en/i386 dag
rpm http://wftp.tu-chemnitz.de/pub/linux/dag/ dries/fedora/fc3/i386 dries

Don't forget to import the keys for each of these repositories if you use them this way as well.

can i get the keys the same way with kget for those repositories? and thanks when i fixed yum id installed gpgme for my system and everything seems to be working
