There is a reason why the packages are signed.

If you keep installing packages from untrusted sources, you forfeit all future
rights to complain about non-working systems for all times in perpetuity

The solution is simple: either get the key (if you know and trust the
publisher) and import it into rpm, or don't install the package.

This is not a wisecrack, this is the reality of life on the internet
