I decided I would like to try GnuCash on my 5.x desktop system. I did an available list and got this

gnucash.i386 2.2.4-1.el5.kb kbs-CentOS-Testi gnucash-docs.noarch 2.2.0-2.el5.kb kbs-CentOS-Testi

Did a

yum --enablerepo=kbs-CentOS-Testing install gnucash*

That produced

Package gnucash-docs-2.2.0-2.el5.kb.noarch.rpm is not signed

I figured I had forgot to install the gpg key, so I did that. Well, now I have to instances of that key. When I try to remove one copy,

# rpm -e gpg-pubkey-3e13cf5b-422eea1c error: "gpg-pubkey-3e13cf5b-422eea1c" specifies multiple packages

I tried removing the /var/lib/rpm/__* and rebuild, but no help. Still have two instances of the key. Any way to clean that without a remove and reinstall of all the keys?

Anyway, a search of the archives has an entry indicating that gnucash was available for CentOS 4.x, but nada about 5. Am I too early on this?

Anyhoo, figuring that docs could be addressed later, I then foolishly (need more coffee?) did

yum --enablerepo=kbs-CentOS-Testing install --exclude=gnucash-docs \ gnucash

which, of course produced

Error: Missing Dependency: gnucash-docs >= 2.2.0 is needed by package gnucash-2.2.4-1.el5.kb.i386 (kbs-CentOS-Testing)

Undaunted, I figured to download via yum and force installation with nodeps (hmm, yum --downloadonly didn't work. Nothing in the docs about that though. Did

yumdownloader --enablerepo=kbs-CentOS-Testing gnucash-docs

and that worked)

Then

rpm --install --nodeps gnucash-docs-2.2.0-2.el5.kb.noarch.rpm

worked, but gave

I/O error : Attempt to load network entity http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.1.2/docbookx.dtd I/O error : Attempt to load network entity http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.1.2/docbookx.dtd I/O error : Attempt to load network entity http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.4/docbookx.dtd

The docs were installed though AFAICT. ISTR seeing stuff similar to this with other packages in the dim past. Don't recall any solutions though.

I wonder if there's a way to suppress that activity. I don't particularly care for packages that require on-line references for local and potentially sensitive work. I'm thinking there might be a configuration file I could modify because I see some similar files already on the system. I'll pursue that later if I get gnucash installed.

Back to the primary task, did

yum --enablerepo=kbs-CentOS-Testing install gnucash

That produced

Package gwenhywfar-2.6.2-2.el5.kb.i386.rpm is not signed

At that point I felt maybe I was a bit premature as I had already confirmed that I had the gpg key installed.

Any words of wisdom for me? If I don't need to worry about the signing issues, I guess I could download and install all with --nodeps. Good/bad idea? Anything I might do to help the process along? I've not done any rpm work, so it might take awhile if there is anything too technical.

I'm going to fire up my 4.x and see if it works there. I can muddle through there, with a small amount of inconvenience. But that might be worth it.

Before I forget, thanks to you and all the crew for the hard work that benefits us all.

TIA
