Here we go again: Hi all. Most of you already know about my problems (well, my computer’s problems ;-) ), since we’ve been discussing on the forum. Hughesjr recommended me to post here, so let’s see, I have my faith on you I have a dedicated server with RH9 that I upgraded to CentOS 3.4 . Everything ok, but after the first yum upgrade and reboot I get this when I try to do a yum update: yum update Gathering header information file(s) from server(s) Server: CentOS-Null - Addons Server: CentOS-Null - Base Server: CentOS-Null - Extras Server: CentOS-Null - Updates Finding updated packages Downloading needed headers Resolving dependencies ....Dependencies resolved I will do the following: [update: redhat-config-keyboard 1.1.4-1.noarch] [update: XFree86-xfs 4.3.0-78.EL.i386] [update: modutils 2.4.25-14.EL.i386] I will install/upgrade these to satisfy the dependencies: [deps: util-linux 2.11y-31.2.i386] [deps: libacl 2.2.3-1.i386] [deps: initscripts 7.31.18.EL-1.centos.0.i386] [deps: libtermcap 2.0.8-35.i386] [deps: libgcc 3.2.3-49.i386] [deps: cracklib 2.7-22.i386] [deps: termcap 11.0.1-17.1.noarch] [deps: gpm 1.19.3-27.2.i386] [deps: mingetty 1.06-1.i386] [deps: procps 2.0.17-13.i386] [deps: XFree86-libs-data 4.3.0-78.EL.i386] [deps: sed 4.0.7-3.i386] [deps: iproute 2.4.7-11.30E.1.i386] [deps: e2fsprogs 1.32-15.1.i386] [deps: grep 2.5.1-24.1.i386] [deps: words 2-21.noarch] [deps: sysklogd 1.4.1-12.3.i386] [deps: ethtool 1.8-3.3.i386] [deps: glib2 2.2.3-2.0.i386] [deps: chkconfig 1.3.11-0.3.i386] [deps: psmisc 21.3-1.RHEL.0.i386] [deps: findutils 1:4.1.7-9.i386] [deps: pam 0.75-62.i386] [deps: SysVinit 2.85-4.2.i386] [deps: rhpl 0.110.6-1.centos.0.i386] [deps: popt 1.8.2-10.i386] [deps: iputils 20020927-11.30.1.i386] [deps: net-tools 1.60-20E.1.i386] [deps: db4 4.1.25-8.i386] [deps: dev 3.3.12.3-1.centos.0.i386] [deps: zlib 1.1.4-8.1.i386] [deps: coreutils 4.5.3-26.i386] [deps: pyxf86config 0.3.5-1.i386] [deps: mktemp 1.5-18.i386] [deps: fontconfig 2.2.1-13.i386] [deps: shadow-utils 2:4.0.3-22.02.i386] [deps: setup 2.5.27-1.noarch] [deps: XFree86-Mesa-libGL 4.3.0-78.EL.i386] [deps: info 4.5-3.i386] [deps: ncurses 5.3-9.3.i386] [deps: glib 1:1.2.10-11.1.i386] [deps: libattr 2.2.0-1.i386] [deps: XFree86-libs 4.3.0-78.EL.i386] [deps: pcre 3.9-10.1.i386] [deps: cracklib-dicts 2.7-22.i386] [deps: expat 1.95.5-6.i386] [deps: bash 2.05b-29.0.3.centos.0.i386] [deps: XFree86-font-utils 4.3.0-78.EL.i386] [deps: freetype 2.1.4-4.0.i386] [deps: ttmkfdir 3.0.9-6.i386] Is this ok [y/N]: y Downloading Packages warning: rpmts_HdrFromFdno: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 025e513b Error: Could not find the GPG Key necessary to validate pkg /var/cache/yum/addons/packages/util-linux-2.11y-31.2.i386.rpm Error: You may want to run yum clean or remove the file: /var/cache/yum/addons/packages/util-linux-2.11y-31.2.i386.rpm Error: You may also check that you have the correct GPG keys installed Do you notice the CentOS-Null ???
