Hi Liam,

I'm no expert on this, but perhaps I can save one of the experts some time!

You can add the missing keys yourself with two commands:

gpg -a --export <key> > mykey.gpg (where <key> is the key you want to add)
rpm --import mykey.gpg

Once you have the keys added, you can use

urpmi --auto-select --auto 

to update your cooker install. Unusual keys are unfortunately encountered 
sometimes, but with less frequency. Once you have confirmed that affected 
packages are legit (and not trojans or something else!), you can just add 
them manually and then do the auto thing again.

Hope this helps!
Paul.
