Also having problems installing new kernel

[Kevin Hanser]

Ok, I went through the steps you had outlined, and it looks like I did
have the key installed.  I see the gpg-pubkey-4f2a6fd2-3f9d9d3b rpm info
like you have listed.  I did a --import again to see if that made a
difference, but it still gave the same error.

I then tried it w/the same file, but that was re-downloaded.  It worked
fine that time.......  So I'm not sure why the file may have downloaded
incorrectly the first time, but it seems to have worked today.  Did the
file get changed between yesterday and today on the server?  Did someone
re-upload it during that time, and that would be why my first one (from
yesterday) didn't work?

Hmmm...

The "BAD, key ID xxx" is a hint that the problem is that RPM doesn't
recognize the GPG key that signed the rpm as one it should trust, not
that the file is corrupted.  It has a GPG key, but RPM doesn't like it.

Do this:

1) Verify you do not have this GPG key; here's what I see when I DO have
the key:

# rpm -q gpg-pubkey | grep 4f2
gpg-pubkey-4f2a6fd2-3f9d9d3b
# rpm -qi gpg-pubkey-4f2a6fd2-3f9d9d3b

2) Import the Fedora key to your rpm keyring (it's strange that you
don't have this already -- you should also check that you have the
"fedora-release-1-3" rpm installed):

# rpm --import /usr/share/doc/fedora-release-1/RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora

3) Try installing the RPM again.


You could tell RPM to not perform its digital signature checks (check
the rpm man page), but that's just avoiding the problem.
