Thanks. But what are the disadvantages of not checking signatures? I hear the packages will never get updated if they don't have signatures or something like that...
I think you heard wrong. You just need to permit the installation with the --no-ch switch. But better install the signatures aka rpmkeys.
On 10.0, I have problems with the installation of the Packman keys. The vendor and release attributes of some keys are different than expected with the RPMDB declaration in the /usr/lib/rpm/gnupg/*.asc files. Then apt4rpm tried to import them every time anew and aborted at the first error. The error is mentioned durign apt-get upgrade. I repaired the problem locally by patching the *.asc files. I always wanted to trace that problem, but didn't have the time to invest -- I mentioned it on the packman list, but there the rpmkeys maintainer cannot reproduce my situation. Just in case that you stumble over this error yourself. Joachim -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Joachim Schrod Email: jschrod@acm.org Roedermark, Germany
