A good trust management for keys was requested for several releases now,
but has not happened so far.

Where can you even review which keys yast/zypper uses?

rpm -qi gpg-pubkey | less
(these are keys imported into the rpm db, but they'll usually match
those used to sign the repos).

find /var/lib/zypp/ -name '*.key' | xargs -L 1 gpg
are the keys used by zypp.

Hi Michal,
So, please correct me if I'm wrong, in order to link, say, the packman
key I
have in rpmdb to some factual trust information like packman's website I have
to

1. rpm -qi gpg-pubkey > rpmdb-signing_keys.txt (I don't see how you can
fingerprint these with rpm so you need to ...)
2. gpg --import rpmdb-signing_keys.txt
3. gpg --fingerprint

in the console?

There is no way in yast to do this. Which leaves the majority of people with
the non-choice of accepting a key they cannot check in order to install a
package.

Why do I have the feeling that I must be missing something here? That this
just cannot be?

Wolfgang
