error with yum install

niadanac · 09-19-2005, 02:49 PM

I downloaded digikam for their home site and did a yum localinstall and this is the error I get at the end. What is the problem and how to fix it please.

warning: rpmts_HdrFromFdno: Header V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID ff6382fa
public key not available for digikam-0.7.4-0.1.fc4.kde.i386.rpm

That kinda looks more like a warning than error.
With a bit of digging, I found one at http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat....i386.rpm.html
and installed it with no warningings or errors....
yum localinstall digikam-0.7.4-0.1.fc4.kde.i386.rpm

It did install some dependencies

Code:

Installing:
 digikam                 i386       0.7.4-0.1.fc4.kde  digikam-0.7.4-0.1.fc4.kde.i386.rpm  5.8 M

Thnx for the quick response -- the file I downloaded from is the same one but I used the link below the one you used -- I have just downloaded from your link and I will try it -- this is just a thought and being still quite new to all this stuff ie: dependencies, repositories -- is it possible that my repositories are not the right ones

The extras repo is pretty basic and not likely to be too far off. I don't use testing or devel repos but unless you are having issues with yum in general, you probably are ok with your repos.

thx for trying to help nothing seems to work for me it's getting kinda frustrating.

homey · 09-19-2005, 10:39 PM

Are you still having problems with digikam or other problems?

niadanac · 09-19-2005, 10:57 PM

Yes I am. I can't get Digikam installed using yum it tells me its looking for a key. I tried installing from a tarball and in the ./configure got the message at the end that the c compiler was not able to complete the job -- when to the forum and found users with the same problem. Did all the suggestions that where given and still have the problem although the original user was fixed up. I don't know if this is all worth it . I have spent all evening trying to install this program and I'm no closer than when I first started. Please tell me it get's better.

Perhaps you could post the actual message.

You need to import the gpg key of the packager of that particular rpm. I am sure digikam is in one of the FC repos. Try,

Code:

#yum install digikam

niadanac · 09-20-2005, 06:54 AM

thx again for replying so soon. unfortunately I have been there and if the key rpm is there I cannot see it. I have tried downloading from the digikam home site and I cannot configure the un-tar'd file because the compiler has an error. So as much as I hate to think of doing it I may have to reinstall Fedora 4 incase it's a problem in the original install.

reddazz · 09-20-2005, 08:36 AM

Code:

#rpm --import http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/extras/RPM-GPG-KEY-Fedora-Extras
#yum install digikam

homey · 09-20-2005, 09:21 AM

I didn't notice that digikam is available in the extras repo. That makes installing it easy for you and all you really need to do is get the yum keys installed to use yum.

Code:

You could import the key with this command:
rpm --import /usr/share/rhn/RPM-GPG-KEY

Then, install digikam with this command:
yum install digikam

Might as well update everything while you're at it:
yum update

How's that for a coincidence. I went in to Chapters this morning an was looking through a Linux book and it showed the same possible key solution so I am going to do that shortly. Thx

homey · 09-20-2005, 11:19 AM

Great! Let us know how it goes.
Also, note that yum update will likely give you a new kernel and a new entry in the boot menu. You will want to boot up with that new kernel and then you can remove the old kernel.
I found it easiest to list the installed kernels with the command:
rpm -qa | grep kernel

Then copy/paste the old kernel into a yum remove command like this.....
yum remove ( put old kernel info here )

To all that sent their help it is greatly appreciated and the key that reddazz gave was the one I needed and Digikam is finally installed again thx all
