This should never be an acceptable work around :)
If there's a signature problem, then something may be very very wrong.

This is, happily, the expected behaviour of rpm 4.1.

If you don't have the public key with which a package was signed, then
you are trying to install what could be a trojan horse, for instance.
Of course, you'd have to trust my public key or that I got the source
from a trustworthy place.

The true way to solve this non-issue is to get my public key. I hope you
can manage a trust chain down to my key :)

You can install my key in the rpm pgp database with:
as your normal user:
0. cd /tmp
1. gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-key 0x7A34FADE
2. gpg -a --export 0x7A34FADE > rui.asc

then as user root:
3. su -
4. cd /tmp
5. rpm --import rui.asc

Now rpm will have my key in the rpmdb, and that message will not show
again.
