Need a working 7.3 yum repository

I documented the fedoralecacy failure in a Bugzilla report (#2236) I wrote on Wednesday.
Unfortunately, Bugzilla has been down. But the problem description is below.
I don't see how the signature problem could be from failure to install the GPG keys.
I installed the keys as instructed on the fedoralegacy web page you refer to.
This error occurred after I had already downloaded *lots* of packages from Duke,
without any signature-failure errors.
Did I miss some keys? Are there different keys used by some of the Duke stuff
that I need to install?
Thanks for your reply, and for any further help you can offer.

=== Begin
After a fresh installation of Red Hat Linux 7.3 on an Intel P4 platform, I
installed yum from download.fedoralegacy.org and tried to do a "yum update". I
received the messages:
.... identical dependency loop exceeded.
package mozilla-psm needs mozilla-nss = 1.0.2-2.7.3 (not provided)
package mozilla-psm needs mozilla-nss = 1.0.2-2.7.3 (not provided)
I have been doing a fair number of Red Hat 7.3 installations over the past
several weeks, and the yum updates used to work. As I recall, they stopped
working (and started displaying the above problem) somewhere around November 5.
Here is what uname -v -r reports for my system:
2.4.18-3smp #1 SMP Thu Apr 18 (etc.)
I would appreciate any help with this problem.

What is the dependency failure you're seeing from fedora legacy?
The mirror at duke is just a stock rhl 7.3 mirror, it's not being
updated anymore.
the reason you're getting a signature check failure is probably b/c you
don't have the gpg public keys imported. Check the fedoralegacy webpage
for how to do that.
