Hi list,
Trying to upgrade someone's workstation here to 5.2 (was installed from a 5.0 DVD I think).
The RPMs on our internal mirror are in-tact and pass a 'rpm --checksig' test, yet when I run a 'yum upgrade' a large portion of them are corrupted and fail the GPG check.
This seems to be isolated to yum, as downloading the RPM directly via FTP with wget or lftpget provides an RPM that *does* pass the GPG check.
I have upgraded key packages to the latest version (eg. yum upgrade 'yum*') and tried again to no avail.
Anyone seen this before?
The only time I have seen it is where there is a bad HTTP proxy in between you and the server. It caches a bad rpm and then keeps it til hell freezes over.
