After booting up openSUSE 11.1 i586 this morning, I got a message I had
never seen before:
Repository Signature Required
Do you want to accept this repository signature?
package_id:dummy;0.0.1:i386;data
repository_name: repo-update
key_url:http://download.opensuse.org/update/11.1/
key_userid:openSUSE Project Signing Key <opensuse@opensuse.org>
key_id:B88B2FD43DBDC284

Yes No
So I said Yes
But then it wanted root access, which I declined to provide and canceled
the thing, whatever it is. Now, of course, my updater is displaying the
yellow triangle with the ! in the center.
This is the creepiest thing I have encountered since starting to use
openSUSE several years ago. Did this result from some kind of screwup
by the folks of openSUSE?

There was another prompt to say Yes or No, and I chose No. All seems to
be back to normal for the time being with Updater Applet.
