Issue resolved. A typo in the GPG key URL destination of my personal
repository was the cause. Method of gpg
key generation and key reassignment appears working.
Sorry for the error.

Hi,
I'm a newbie and just installed spacewalk on my centos 5.5 server. I
chose to install the software with the postgres,
rather than oracle, database.
I've followed the install instructions on this link:
http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/PackageManagement/Spacewalk
deviating only slightly to make changes for postgres instead of
oracle. Instructions were taken from the
following pages:
https://fedorahosted.org/spacewalk/wiki/HowToInstall12
https://fedorahosted.org/spacewalk/wiki/PostgreSQLServerSetup
https://fedorahosted.org/spacewalk/wiki/HowToInstall11
https://fedorahosted.org/spacewalk/wiki/PostgreSQL
Per the instructions I installed and synced the CentOS5 base, update
and spacewalk client channels. I also
setup a client machine and was able to yum install a package from the
CentOS Base repository on my spacewalk
server.
I need to keep separate yum repositories for a few systems who require
specialized rpm installations. Following
the links above, I tried to create a personal yum repository channel
and "sign" the files with my own generated
gpg key (I also imported this key on my client machine).
However, when I try to do a "yum install xxdiff" (and example of an
extra rpm found outside the base repository)
I get the error: Public key for xxdiff-3.2-12.0.cf.rhel5.i386.rpm is
not installed. I tried to import another rpm
without doing a "gpg --resign" on it prior to installation and
recieved the error "Package nxclient-3.4.0-7.i386.rpm is not signed".
I tried resigning the xxdiff rpm and got the error: "warning:
xxdiff-3.2-12.0.cf.rhel5.i386.rpm: was already signed by key ID
da5485bc, skipping"
so I know the rpm is signed, and it looks like it is by the correct
gpg key that I created using the command "gpg --gen-key". The key
was exported and then rpm --import -ed to my server. It shows up in
the gpg --list-keys command.
It seems as though the issue is on the client side, but I can't be
sure. When I try to do a "yum install xxdiff", along with the public key
error, I also get the error:
warning: rpmts_HdrFromFdno: Header V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID
b56a8bac
For some reason, it is seeing a different key for the package.
Instead of a yum install, I tried to schedule an install from the
spacewalk server to the client. A push instead of a pull process.
The install failed. A "rhn_check -vvvvvv" on the client showed the
following error:
-------
warning: rpmts_HdrFromFdno: Header V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID
b56a8bac
D: May free Score board((nil))
D: Sending back response ((6,), 'Error while executing packages
action: Public key for xxdiff-3.2-12.0.cf.rhel5.i386.rpm is not
installed', {})
XMLRPC ProtocolError: <ProtocolError for mymachine /XMLRPC: 500
Internal Server Error>
-------
I know I'm doing some basic newbie error, but I'm not sure what it
is. BTW, the command "rpm -q gpg-pubkey" on both
the client and server show the repository key I created is installed.
It seems I am missing a critical step when I setup my
own repository.
I'm wondering if I have a bigger problem with my installation and it
is manifesting itself with the client. When I initially
login to the server with my created "admin" password, I always get two
https errors. After I close the error boxes, I'm
presented with the Overview page. I don't see any obvious errors in
the httpd ssl logs.
If someone could direct me to some configuration examples or readmes
on how to set up a personal repository using
spacewalk, I'd be grateful.
thanks. sorry for the length of the post.
