Hi everyone,
I am writing a small tool that will compare a file on my machine with the the same file on an rpm repository and then give me a diff.
E.g. # rpm-file-diff /etc/samba/smb.conf
will show a diff output so that I can see at a glance what changes I have made to my local smb.conf file. I already know about rpmdiff but that compares whole packages and not files.
Anyway while fiddling with this I have tried "rpm -qpi http://mirror....". Sometimes this works on my local mirror but mostly not (see below) and I have never had it to work on sunsite.org.uk.
I know this seems really trivial but I'm worried that I don't understand what's wrong.
Any opinions appreciated :-)

Well, I'm new at this stuff, so no opinion. But I have a Q, based on things that I bumped into as I began up this arduous road. I'll keep you breathlessly in suspense by saying "see below"! :-)

For the above and subsequent, I had something *similar* (memory unclear) when I had not imported the GPG keys into rpm yet. Could be your issue? I recall that the CentOS sites had instructions and the man for rpm also tells how. IIRC, there are a couple public key sites that seem to have all the keys. I've used these two.

Thanks for your input.
I initially thought that I hadn't imported the keys too, so I checked with
# rpm -qa |grep key gpg-pubkey-443e1821-421f218f
and I think that's OK. I have tried this on two machines both of which are up-to-date with yum. Funny thing is it works 4 times out of 10 against my own local Centos mirror.

Mine shows similar. I have 6 instances and all of mine have ".(none)" added to the end. I don't know if this is important.

I think you'll need one of the more experienced users to help. Hmm. I do recall seeing Occasional problems of various types when mirrors and stuff were getting updated. But then your problem should not be so consistent.
BTW, while doing "man rpm", encountered these, that seem useful. For example, all currently imported public keys can be displayed by:
rpm -qa gpg-pubkey*
Details about a specific public key, when imported, can be displayed by querying. Here’s information about the Red Hat GPG/DSA key:
rpm -qi gpg-pubkey-db42a60e
Finally, public keys can be erased after importing just like packages. Here’s how to remove the Red Hat GPG/DSA key
rpm -e gpg-pubkey-db42a60e
