Ok, this zip drive thing has me thinking of upgrading the kernel. I
downloaded the files because Mandrakeupdate doesn't work. The Mandrake
website says to run 'rpm --checksig package.rpm' before upgrading the
kernel. Well it should say 'rpm --checksig /var/lib/rpm/packages.rpm',
they don't seem to pay much attention to details at Mandrake. My 7.2
is very buggy.
Anyway when I run checksig it fails with a message
# rpm --checksig /var/lib/rpm/packages.rpm
exec failed!
Could not run pgp. Use --nopgp to skip PGP checks.
/var/lib/rpm/packages.rpm: PGP NOT OK
If I use the --nopgp it passes. Am I ok? My reason for concern is that
Mandrakeupdate fails ("error downloading package") and at one point I
had to rebuild my rpm database. I never figured out how it was
corrupted.
