YOU Errors reading signatures of RPM's - YaST Update
Hi, I also have the signature failure message when I try to use YOU to first update YaST. I have checked the following directories:- /var/lib/YaST2/you/i386/update/8.1/patches /var/lib/YaST2/you/i386/update/8.1/rpm/i586 where there are 4 yast2 rpm packages that appear to be recent (from my latest attempt to use YOU with the same signature failure message) yast2-core-2.6.47-9.i586.patch.rpm yast2-packagemanager-2.6.36-2.i586.patch.rpm yast2-packagemanager-devel-2.6.36-2.i586.patch.rpm yast2-packager-2.6.63-3.i586.patch.rpm How can I correctly (safely) install these ? i.e. How can this be done with YaST2 ? or must I use rpm -Uhv filename.rpm --???????? (is this the correct command for a patch ?) Are they really the downloaded updates ? If these RPMs can be correctly installed then I hope YaST will work. In 8.0 there was an option to ignore the signature error message. I used it, YaST2 was updated and thereafter YaST2 worked fine without a signature propblem. regards, John

Are you YOU in a GUI logged in as root? If so: Do not use a GUI as root - X is a security nightmare! Log in a standard user, and run YOU by entering the root password when prompted, or (MUCH BETTER) get a console (press alt-F1) and login as root there, then run yast in text 'mode' Dylan

Just tried what you suggested. Same result each time "signature check failed". Is there a way to get YaST to work with those rpm files that have been downloaded? -- John Dylan wrote:

You could try deleting the contents of /var/lib/yast/. Dylan

Just tried that........same result. The rpm files were downloaded again. Does anybody know how to install these manually ? -- John Dylan wrote:

Well that was interesting. First, logged in as root, with Konq. I right clicked and selected Preview in KRPMview. Then I selected Install package with YaST (the only active option) and it prompted for CD-1. Then it installed the version on CD-1 !!!! The "use directory as source with YaST" option was not active. "Open with KPackage" was another option when one right clicks on the rpm file. However I have had trouble with Kpackage and have read that it is not recommended. So what do you think about trying KPackage (followed by SuSEconfig ? In any case I did not see an option "install w / yast" except as noted above. It seems that KRPMview is also not right. -- John jfweber@eternal.net wrote:

right click on the file and choose install w/ yast ? ( at least if you have 8.1 installed
For the record...... Finally its fixed .......sort of. The solution for now is to use fou4s. That worked. Updates for YaST were downloaded and installed. I did the YaST DelDB and ProdDB fix document by SuSE. But this new 8.1 YaST still won't work. Well I will use fou4s until 8.2 - John John Sved wrote:
