I did as well today in preparation for remigrating to cooker (ps I would 
like very much a gtkatlantic rpm) and ran into something strange. Also I 
got some wierd pages not found, such as qa.mandrakesoft.com - I wanted to 
get the public key, so that I wouldn't get those bad signature messages 
every time I tried to urpmi. By the way, the key import worked well this 
time with plf.

Going through the directions as I type random keys on the keyboard results 
in this error:

gpg: no writable public keyring found: eof
Key generation failed: eof

Is it a permissions thing? I'm doing it as a regular unprivileged user.
