As I understand it, there have been some changes in the checksum methods in the newer versions of RPM. If you want to install package built with the newer versions, you need to add the --nomd5 option to the rpm command to avoid the signature errors:
That was my (provisional) conclusion, and that's what I did. Version 5.40 is now happily running on my system. Hadda update the smartd.conf file, of course, for my needs.
rpm -ivh --nomd5 smartmontools-5.39-1.2.el6.src.rpmOf course, once that's done the fun is just starting. Since the original was built for RHEL6, it may have dependencies on newer versions of other packages.
I had no other problems. I probably need to get a later version of RPM source and install. I had already done a straight tarball build and install into /usr/local for some testing, but wanted RPM to do it "right", so I needed a SPEC file, mostly.
Your mileage may vary.
Thanks!
