Errors when installing updates to SuSE 11.3

When I try to run the Online Updates to the system through Yast I get the following errors for each package:

[QUOTE]
Subprocess failed. Error: RPM failed: warning: /var/cache/zypp/packages/Packman Repository/Multimedia/i586/libaudcore1-2.4.4-1.pm.1.1.i586.rpm: Header V3 DSA/SHA1 Signature, key ID 9a795806: NOKEY

… and many more similar lines

Why is this happening? How can I fix it? Help will be much appreciated.

TIA

Looks like there is a new URL for packman

http://packman.unixheads.com/suse/11.3/

would now be

Index of /suse/openSUSE_11.3

I don’t know where this is documented but it is obvious if you go to the packman address in a web browser and follow the subdirectories

packman has been undergoing some work…i’m not sure of its current
status (or URL), but i guess that is covered in here, somewhere:

I found the answer thanks. My system had hung a couple of times and the update database was corrupted. I fixed it with

rpm -vv --rebuilddb
which I got from here -
Rebuilding update database

Thanks for your replies.
