That gets me back to the original problem I mentioned in
news://news.gmane.org:119/gqdcg6$7ss$1@ger.gmane.org
root> rpm -ivh kernel-2.6.29-0.258.rc8.git2.fc11.src.rpm
1:kernel warning: user mockbuild does not exist - using root
warning: group mockbuild does not exist - using root

Interesting that I was getting this message before I got the "unknown key"
message which I "fixed" wit the rpm import. In any case, the problem returned to
what I initially reported, but it still doesn't work.
I'll wait for the FC11 beta next month.
