Been running smart to update my system. Failed tonight with the following message: --------------------------------------------------------------------- - The above GPG key has been imported successfully. It is required to install this package:

--------- I have no idea what that means. Why is it asking about a GPG key when I do not use it? A little guidance here please?

It isn't an error, just a security notice. Answer "yes" to the "do you want to trust this key" question and all will be well. If you're paranoid you can cross-check the key's fingerprint with the person who released the key (Pascal Bleser) before answering yes.

Welllll...that's what I thought also. But when I answer "yes" the upgrade aborts. That was in the gui. I then tried "upgrade from the command line and it also errored out complaining about the public key. Here is the output from the Konsole:

Committing transaction... warning: rpmts_HdrFromFdno: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 58857177 Trying to import the key af734c5a58857177 from subkeys.pgp.net... gpg: requesting key 58857177 from hkp server subkeys.pgp.net gpg: key 58857177: "Pascal Bleser " not changed gpg: Total number processed: 1 gpg: unchanged: 1

The above GPG key has been imported successfully. It is required to install this package:

smart-0.42-9.guru.suse100.x86_64.rpm

Do you want to trust this key forever?

You must verify the below fingerprint before answering. pub 1024D/58857177 2002-09-27 Key fingerprint = E02F 0C4A CE1A 27C3 D082 C8EE AF73 4C5A 5885 7177 uid Pascal Bleser uid Pascal Bleser (FOSDEM) uid Pascal Bleser uid Pascal Bleser (RPM signing key) sub 1024g/102BCED4 2002-09-27

If you answer "Yes" all other packages signed with this key will be installed automatically. (y/N): y

error: smart-0.42-9.guru.suse100.x86_64.rpm: public key not available Saving cache...

Welllllll....I got it to work properly now, but can't explain the problem. Cured it by going to the smart site and manually downloading and installing the newer packages. Seems somehow Smart could not upgrade itself ??? Upgraded everything perfectly after that without strange messages. Bob S.
