Hi.

Just begun making my linux a little bit more fun, tried to install mplayer with yum but it won't allow me because it needs gpg keys.

The OS is FC3.

I copied a list of sites from another yum.conf file to my yum.conf and some of them (if not all) require those keys.

This is how my yum.conf looks like:

I don't know where to search for those keys nor where to put them.
Help...

Thanks.

Hello Infernal,

First some of your repo's will conflict with another.

The GPG key is normally found at the repo homepage.

See http://www.freshrpms.net , http://dag.wieers.com as a few exaples.

I prefer to use only a few repo's, see my yum.conf (Fedora Core 3 compatile)

I guess putting so many sites in the yum.conf wasn't a good idea after all..

anyways, i downloaded apt to satisfy my curiosity and it seems to be friendlier, it dowsnt complain a lot (not even one gpg key panic so far) and the synaptic plugin is kinda nice too..

does apt use keys at all?

Hi guys, I think I can help you out a bit.

I'm no made-man with linux myself, but i know that since every repo in infernal's list has the "enabled=0" theres no problem (problem being conflicting rpm's), since yum wont employ these repos.

Now to the real problem at hand:
Infernal - you have two ways to go from here:
One, you see what sites you can get gpg.public.key for, or two disable gpgchecking altogether.
I have chosen the latter, and if you wish to do the same just replace all #gpgcheck=1 with gpgcheck=0
and keep that gpgcheck=0 in [main].

I havn't read through man/doc for yum carefully, but if the posted conf doesn't work for you i assume gpgcheck defaults to 1/on, and a commented line like #gpgcheck=1 wont affect yum at all. You need to disable gpgcheck altogether.

...and no, i don't think apt supports keys. At least I have never seen any sign of such...
