But of course! I apologise. Please also note that I've run rpm --rebuilddb a number of times, hoping to clear up this issue, without success. It's just that I've downloaded libjpeg62-6b-28mdk dozens of times over the last week; from now on I'll keep track of the incidences and report back. I do my best to keep up with cooker, checking and downloading at least 5 or 6 times per week, so I don't think I'm too far behind. As of 30 June 2003, I only had about 6 packages not updated - and those gave me "The following packages cannot be selected. Reason follow" messages. Sometimes a reason is given, sometimes not. Off topic (also without specific package names and versions): all (!) packages bearing the key 604AA4E4 fail with "invalid signature" messages. I've been installing them with --nosignature, because generally they are deps for other packages. Also, since I haven't seen any complaints from other people, I figured it was a local issue. And yes, I did use the "gpg --export --armor" scriptlet that you posted a few days ago. Several times, in fact. 604AA4E4 is the only one that consistently fails. I also updated my keyring from http://wwwkeys.us.pgp.net (also several times), but this did not fix the problem. As I said, I'll get back to you with a list of problem packages (for all problems).
