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'm currently building a new firewall/ruter using 9.2 and I'm starting >> to question myself should i do it with 9.2. >> I can't afford such stupid things to happen on a central firewall in my >> network. VD> Well, the obvious response here is to check the hands behind the keyboard. VD> =) That would have solved your first problem and, really, is the only one VD> that would affect your "firewall/ruter". ???? 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.
