VD> How did you import the key?  Did you do it using gpg?
rpm --import RPM-GPG-KEYS from : https://www.mandrakesecure.net/RPM-GPG-KEYS

VD> If so, then you really need to learn how to use urpmi.  urpmi will import
VD> the key for you.  You also need to use rpm to import the key since rpm
VD> manages the keys internally now instead of using gpg.

Lets see:
rpm --checksig /Install/Mandrake/RPMS/kernel-2.4.22.10mdk-1-1mdk.i586.rpm
/Install/Mandrake/RPMS/kernel-2.4.22.10mdk-1-1mdk.i586.rpm: (sha1) dsa sha1 md5 gpg OK


rpm --checksig /Install/Mandrake/Update/kernel-2.4.22.18mdk-1-1mdk.i586.rpm
/Install/Mandrake/Update/kernel-2.4.22.18mdk-1-1mdk.i586.rpm: sha1 md5 (GPG) NOT OK 
(MISSING KEYS: GPG#22458a98)

rpm -qa gpg-pubkey*
gpg-pubkey-70771ff3-3c8f768f
gpg-pubkey-70771ff3-3c8f768f
gpg-pubkey-70771ff3-3969e7de

Do I know how to use rpm/urpmi ????

VD> The nvidia rpms should be up by now or very shortly... waiting on the Club
VD> webmaster for that.  The ATI ones will be up as soon as I obtain the srpms.
yeah they are there know. After 24h or more. If you are a company and
make a public statement that something could be found on your site on
that url etc. it should be there.

VD> No one in testing experienced this, so I'm not sure what the problem was.
VD> Perhaps you just needed to run "update-menus" as root... there seems to be
VD> an issue with rpm not always running this, although it hasn't been confirmed
VD> yet.

Just. Imagine telling that to a newbee ?

VD> Well, let's see.  The first issue was user error.
Really then please do tell me how to do it properly. I have used it
before but it seems that this time I made a mistake.
even if I don't know how to import gpg key why the hell should I do
it anyway. A signature is imported after install that's why I don't
get any error when with non update packages.

VD> The second issue is a
VD> matter of mirroring and timing,
This should not happen to a company. If this happened to Debian then
its ok. They are not a company MANDRAKE IS !!!

VD>  and the third issue... well, that's really
VD> the only issue.

I'm so glad that we agree on that one.

???? I better not reply to this.

>> Now how do you think this looks in the eyes of a desktop user ?
>> It shoes that Mandrake is really unprofessional.

VD> Not even bothering to respond to the rest.

Well you should. Desktop users are primary group of Mandrake
customers.
