If you have third-party packages, then it is not that unusual for them to be unsigned, or for you to be missing the key. Download the missing packages into one directory and then as root, run: rpm -ivh *rpm Then you should be able to use your software to install the rest of them. For more information on using rpm, see: http://www.clug.ca/node/236 > All this makes me think something is wrong with my installation so I plan to > either re-install from scratch or wait until Debian 4.0 is released. This is actually quite normal, it doesn't sound like your system is broken. Instead of waiting for Debian 4, I'd recommend checking out the latest version of Ubuntu: http://www.ubuntu.com/ Jesse _______________________________________________ clug-talk mailing list [email protected] http://clug.ca/mailman/listinfo/clug-talk_clug.ca Mailing List Guidelines (http://clug.ca/ml_guidelines.php) **Please remove these lines when replying
