File downloading questions.

What does "sig NOKEY key ID eo1260f1" mean? I keep getting this when I download something from the RPM site. Should I do something about it?

Also, on the subject of downloading, when I tried to dowload Apache 2 -- manual I got the message, "retrieving failed: curl failed: exited with 10 or signal 0" I was using the Mandrake administer your system program. What do I need to do to have this program work?

It means that the package has not been "signed" to conform with the security keys of the repository.

This happens with newly uploaded programs quite often.

It also could be that you have NOT yet installed the signatures for the repository.

Quoting from: http://www.zebulon.org.uk/urpmi_en.html

Quote:

Frequently, urpmi asks for installing several rpms, although you just ask for installing only one. This is normal AND great ! urpmi solves dependances : these are rpms that are needed for the correct function of another rpm (like libraries). Then it downloads and installs every rpm that is necessary for the correct setup.

Note : sometimes, urpmi may complain before installing a package, displaying that the package does not contain a valid signature (e.g. for PLF rpms). You may install anyway without harm. Or better would be to import the GPG key used to sign the packages. For PLF packages, the GPG key can be imported by typing in console that command :

code:--------------------------------------------------------------------------------links -source http://plf.zarb.org/plf.asc | gpg --import--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
