SynAptic
 

Hi,

I have recently installed apt and synaptic so I can manage my packages and keep them upto date on my FedoraCore3 box.
I have done the following exacltly;
=======================================================================
[root@localhost mborn]# rpm -Uvhi apt-0.5.15cnc6-16.r362.i386.rpm
warning: apt-0.5.15cnc6-16.r362.i386.rpm: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 1ac70ce6

[root@localhost mborn]# rpm -Uvhi synaptic-0.55.3-2.i386.rpm

[root@localhost mborn]# synaptic
You don't seem to have one or more of the needed GPG keys in your RPM database.
Importing them now...

(synaptic:10927): Gtk-CRITICAL **: file gtkwidget.c: line 2041 (gtk_widget_hide):assertion `GTK_IS_WIDGET (widget)' failed
=======================================================================
What does that mean? did I do something wrong? and if I did, how may I correct it?

thank you very much

You didn't do anything wrong, but it is looking for those package signatures and is unable to find them so the install process is being halted at that point. Basically you either need to point Synaptic to the location of the signatures or disable that function.
