Just what does it mean that the > signature was bad? Why would a package from tex have a bad sig? the sotware manager now allows you to check the gpg sig to make sure your packages are from whom the y claim to be. it is an extra security measure, but you don't need it. you have to add the creators of your packages to your roots key ring for it to work. if you haven't done this, packages not from mandrake will give this error, but should work fine. if you are interested in PGP and GPG security though, it is a useful tool for the paranoid (he says as he signs his message. ;-) - -- If someone tells you they possess the truth, listen carefully. If they tell you they possess the *only* truth, run for your life. shane Profile at: http://dmoz.org/profiles/shen.html Proud to be a DMOZ editor since 10-98 Mandrake Users Club Member http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/club/ Registered linux user #101606 @ http://counter.li.org/ -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.7 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE9rkHCBwq+ZwvIN/oRAlAHAJ9l/m5p5JtPaFsJUdzsJ0fdmTSqawCfRPUF bb7l3BqE1lrmBMh5wyTjP2M= =VzsA -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
