On Thursday 17 October 2002 9:20 am, Angus Auld did speak unto the huddled 
masses, saying:

> I just installed the "wallpaper-0.1-3tex.i586.rpm" from texstar, and when
> I urpmi'd the package, I was told that it had a "bad signature", and
> asked if I wanted to continue anyway. 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.  ;-)
