This brings up a good point.

It would be REAL helpful if key failure messages gave indication as to 
the key id that is missing from the keyring.

I know both yum and up2date have this problem.  (up2date is worse as it 
gives you a message on each and every file that fails, which is a pain if 
you have a large batch of updates from Rawhide.)
