Hey Michel, Thanks a lot for your answer. I have been able to correctly (it seems) load rainer's signature in rpm. Now I'm still fighting to load Manfred Tremmel's signature. Whatever I try, rpm always borks with 'error: .... import failed' but no indication why. I also tried the key on http://www.iivs.de/schwinde/buerger/tremmel/public_key.asc but no luck :-(. Why did the rpm people dump the connection with gpg? This is making things a little (?) complicated. You have to destroy your web of trust in order to make rpm work? Anyway, off to some more struggling. Then, finally, I might be able to apt-get upgrade ;-) Eric On Sunday 25 July 2004 15:36, Michel Messerschmidt wrote:
You can delete signatures from a key with the "delsig" command in the "edit" menu: ~> gpg --no-options --no-default-keyring --keyring temp.gpg --recv-keys [id] ~> gpg --no-options --no-default-keyring --keyring temp.gpg --edit [id] Command> uid 1 Command> delsig
Now answer "y" to all signatures execpt the self-signatures. Repeat this for all UIDs.

Or maybe you should ask the package maintainer to provide a public key that works with rpm :-)
