Install Warning In Mc

I got a warning as below, while installing the midnight commander:

me@suse:~/rpm> sudo rpm -ivh mc-lang-4.6.2.pre1-1.3.i586.rpm mc-4.6.2.pre1-1.3.i586.rpm
warning: mc-lang-4.6.2.pre1-1.3.i586.rpm: Header V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 6b9d6523

well the midnight commander is running fine. Should I be worried about the warning?

Where did you get the rpm, and are there keys available from that source? Not an issue though -- just be careful where you get programs you are installing with root permission.

Thanks for your reply.

I got it from:

download from:
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/...SUSE_10.2/i586/

after searching using:
http://packages.opensuse-community.org/

I checked it, but there are no licences or something like that.

Hi,

the warning means, that the signature of the package could not be verified. Every package should be signed, so that you as a user can check if anyone else than the packager has changed the content of the rpm. Normally the needed public key is imported when you add a repository via yast (you will be aksed for trusting the key). If you TRUST the packager you can download the key for this repostitory http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/.../repomd.xml.key and the run "rpm --import repomd.xml.key" after that the warning should disappear, or you cann add this repository via yast and then trust the pub key.

hope this helps

Thanks for your reply.

Sir! there is no repomd.xml.key in:
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/.../openSUSE_10.2/

It gives:
Latest packages:
<List>
Available Groups
<List>

I tried to:
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/.../repomd.xml.key

and got:

XML Parsing Error: syntax error

Sir! I am also having confusion as I go on to install k9copy:

I have installed the key from:
http://packman.iu-bremen.de/suse/10.2/

as you guided me for mc, but I dont seem to be getting off the hook.

Hi,

i try a step by step guide:
1. download the key for the repository:

 wget http://download.opensuse.org/reposit...repomd.xml.key

2. import the public key (as root)

 rpm --import repomd.xml.key

that should do it.

For the packman repository i recommend to add the repository via yast. This is better for dependency resolving. Goto yast->community repositories and select packman. Then you will be asked to trust the packman key and thats all. Then install software via yast software management.

hope this helps.

Thankyou Sir for your reply.

I shall try out with above steps, next time I am installing some application.
