while trying to "yum update" it gives me this error message?

how do i install a gpg key,
"rm /var/cache/yum/livna-stable/packages/glut-3.7-12.lvn.1.1.i386.rpm" did'nt make any change in this error.

Do you have the key to install?

err, how do i know that?

Read this:

To import a key to gpg you can use gpg --import

good luck

thanks, but how do i install it anyway to a certain 3-rd party server, it only tells me, what gpg is

There's also a link to the gpg key.

To "install" this to your gpg you must import it. Assuming you have gpg installed, you can import the key by copying to a text file. Say fedora.key

To import the key run

gpg --import fedora.key

You can check all the keys imported typing

gpg --list-keys

Hi there,

When I tried running yum update I ran into the following error:

warning: rpmts_HdrFromFdno: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 8df56d05
Error: Could not find the GPG Key necessary to validate pkg /var/cache/yum/fedora-stable/packages/perl-DateManip-5.42-0.fdr.2.a.1.noarch.rpm
Error: You may want to run yum clean or remove the file:
/var/cache/yum/fedora-stable/packages/perl-DateManip-5.42-0.fdr.2.a.1.noarch.rpm
Error: You may also check that you have the correct GPG keys installed

I serched for and read the posts above.
Seeing as it came from Fedora, I went to the following webpage to get the gpg key:

http://fedora.redhat.com/about/security/1CDDBCA9.txt

I copied the entirety of this page and plugged it into emacs, and saved it as #fedora.key# within /root. I then ran the following (with output):

[root@dhcp58 root]# gpg --import \#fedora.key#
gpg: /root/.gnupg: directory created
gpg: new configuration file `/root/.gnupg/gpg.conf' created
gpg: keyring `/root/.gnupg/secring.gpg' created
gpg: keyring `/root/.gnupg/pubring.gpg' created
gpg: /root/.gnupg/trustdb.gpg: trustdb created
gpg: key 1CDDBCA9: public key "Fedora Project automated build signing key (2003) <rawhide@redhat.com>" imported
gpg: Total number processed: 1
gpg: imported: 1

I checked which keys were installed with the following:

[root@dhcp58 packages]# gpg --list-keys
/root/.gnupg/pubring.gpg
------------------------
pub 1024D/1CDDBCA9 2003-10-27 Fedora Project automated build signing key (2003) <rawhide@redhat.com>


When I ran yum update again, I got the same error. I even tried to install the rpm manually as follows:

[root@dhcp58 root]# cd /var/cache/yum/fedora-stable/packages/
[root@dhcp58 packages]# ls
perl-DateManip-5.42-0.fdr.2.a.1.noarch.rpm
[root@dhcp58 packages]# rpm -ivh perl-DateManip-5.42-0.fdr.2.a.1.noarch.rpm

Thanks for any help you can offer.

okay...from looking at other threads here, I've figure out that I should only paste from the "starts here" line onward....and I installed a bunch of them....

[root@dhcp58 /]# gpg --list-keys

The problem persists.

I tried to import from the website directly, without success:

[root@dhcp58 /]# rpm --import http://www.fedora.us/FEDORA-GPG-KEY
Segmentation fault

I'm puzzled because it even looks as though I have the needed key mentioned in the yum error, key ID 8df56d05, listed in my key list.

Again, thanks for your help

im having the same problem with redhat 9 and xine. i installed the key the website gave me put i still cant even install the package from command line. i know its a long shot but im going to download kpackage and try it in case im missing an option when i try to do it from command line. ill let you know what happens

Well, until they make it easier to install the GPGkeys, you can disable GPG key checking by doing a find and replace in the /etc/yum.conf file,
Replace "gpgcheck=1" with "gpgcheck=0" throughout the file.

One thing that would make GPG manageable is to put a link to the key with each site listed in the yum.conf file, and then have a command line option to install them ( e..g yum --getgpgkeys ) that handles the downloading and installing of the keys. in one stroke.
