RPMs

English Applications

I am trying to install some downloaded RPMs and not having much luck. Using OpenSuse 11.
Here is the error I get when I try to install an RPM
“Header V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 9591c39b”
As you have seen from past posts, I am new at this.

If that’s all the output you received you probably have the RPM
installed. When posting things like this please post all of the input
and output verbatim to tell for sure. One way you can check is to query
the RPM database for the package so…

rpm -qa | grep -i <packageNameHere>

Also you could see if the ‘rpm’ command for installing returned
successfully by:

echo $?

If a ‘0’ comes back (this is run IMMEDIATELY after the RPM command
returns) then it returned without errors or warnings and you are set.

Good luck.

some .rpm’s
leave us guessing won’t you:)

easiest way is in a terminal
if you use dolphin and add terminal view
navigate to where the .rpm is

in the terminal go su

then to install

this is an eg:
rpm -ihv package blah blah.rpm

This can be a pain. In the case of Packman repositories, the Packman packagers have an rpm one can install with the Packman public keys: PackMan :: Package details for rpmkey-packman
