Indeed,  Grrr... did "AuthBasicProvider anon" break in apache 2.2.10?

I thought so, but "rpm -K foo.rpm" would reveal that the gpg
verification did actually fail.

The key gpg for i386 and x86_64 should be the same, but I couldn't
import it from /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/ because "rpm --import" fails with
the current version of rpm.  It also fails on another F10 machine.
