Sure thing....
I am using vmware workstation 5 Beta RC2 running on WindowsXP, and have installed SuSE 9.2 - network install (source ftp.mirrorservice.org). Installation seemed to go smoothly until the end, when Yast tries to detect network connectivity and run YOU for the first time. This failed - but since it is an optional step in the installation I wasn't too concerned.
After I rebooted the VM, I installed vmware-tools (which is probably irrelevant to this problem), and checked on networking, and everything seemed to be working fine. The machine had a DHCP assigned IP, I could browse the web, etc,etc. The first (and only) problem I have observed with the system is when running YOU. Patch downloads, YOU complains, if I click on details I see: ERROR(You:RPM has invalid signature.)
Incidentally, on the suggestion of another user I have reinstalled the RPM: suse-build-key-1.0-663.1.rpm (downloaded from ftp.suse.com) with the command: rpm --force -ihv suse-build......
this completes OK with the message "importing SuSE build key to rpm keyring ....done"
However, this has not fixed my problem - I still get the same error message. Are there some other steps I need to take?
Cheers, Jon.

Hi Jon,
Patrick's "man rpm" and searching for "sig" gets you to where you can figure out the solution, but I'd really like to know how the problem came about in the first place?
I've installed and updated by ftp a number of times and not run into this. The first time I bought the boxed Pro set and my CD-ROM drive died. I made the boot and module floppies on another machine, booted and loaded the modules I needed and it just worked. It took most of the night but it worked.
So, would you mind sharing all the steps you took to get this installation under way?

Does it tell you WHAT update package lacks the signature? It MIGHT be that the provider of that specific package (that fails) just plain forgot to sign it, and thus you get an unrecoverable error from RPM. This happens a lot if you use APT. Especially of you use a repository "outside" the SuSE approved ones. -- /Rikard --------------------------------------------------------------- Rikard Johnels email : rikjoh@norweb.se Web : http://www.rikjoh.com/users/rikjoh Mob : +46 735 05 51 01 PGP : 0x461CEE56 ---------------------------------------------------------------
