Works fine.

I built mach 0.4.3 from source (rpmbuild -ta) since I didn't see an RH 8.0 RPM 
for it.  Is that the problem?

I downgraded to the mach 0.4.2 RHL 8.0 binary package, but that didn't help.  I 
still have no problems with "mach setup base" but "mach -r rh72 setup base" fails.

I got Thomas' key from pgp.mit.edu with gpg --recv-keys 55f3aa6f.  I ran gpg 
--list-keys and it showed the fingerprint as 55F3AA6F.  I exported it from GPG 
and tried to import it to RPM.  It showed up as gpg-pubkey-54a2acf1-3e3098f3.  I 
had previously installed RPM and rpm-python from freshrpms.net, and rpm-build 
and rpm-devel from legacy-utils.  I downloaded the legacy-utils rpm and 
rpm-python packages and "rpm -Uvh --replacefiles --replacepkgs"d them.  This 
didn't fix the problem.  Do I have to delete the RPM DB files?

I noticed I had LANG set to en_US.UTF8.  Man pages were displaying incorrectly 
with that setting.  I changed it to en_US and the man pages showed up correctly 
again.  Does that affect rpm's key import?

Thanks,
John
