Hi,

I've just installed a server with CentOS 4. This server is behind a proxy.

I'm trying to import the RPM key.

Already set http_proxy variable to:

export "http_proxy"=http://proxy.xpto.com:3128

Truth is, command

# rpm --import http://mirror.centos.org/centos/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-4

just leaves me hanged.

Is name resolution working okay ??

check in /var/lib/rpm that there are no __db.... files left hanging around. Also do a ps -ef | grep rpm to see if the process has actually stopped or has hung.

If it has hung kill it, then do an strace rpm --import .... if the strace command shows rpm stalls on a futex_wait, kill it and delete the __db files and do it again....

---- rpm --import /usr/share/rhn/RPM-GPG-KEY-centos4

the proxy issues you have to work out
