What is the " 2" doing at the end of the command-line?
Btw, you would need "yum localinstall ..." for Yum to resolve
dependencies of locally downloaded packages.

Why did you download it from koji instead of simply running "yum install
thunderbird"? The signed package is included in the official repositories
and your favourite nearby mirror.

You could still install it with the corresponding Yum option to
ignore the GPG signature check, but that is not recommended.
