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 :-) Rob Watkin # On my local mirror # --------------------------------------------------------------- [root at dyn-0 ~]# rpm -qpi http://10.1.1.12/Centos4/mirrors/centos/4.3/os/i386/CentOS/RPMS/samba-3.0.10-1.4E.6.i386.rpm Name : samba Relocations: (not relocatable) Version : 3.0.10 Vendor: CentOS Release : 1.4E.6 Build Date: Wed 08 Mar 2006 13:59:28 GMT [snip] TCP/IP (NetBT) protocols and does NOT need the NetBEUI (Microsoft Raw NetBIOS frame) protocol. # 3 seconds later #---------------------------------------------------------------- [root at dyn-0 ~]# rpm -qpi http://10.1.1.12/Centos4/mirrors/centos/4.3/os/i386/CentOS/RPMS/samba-3.0.10-1.4E.6.i386.rpm error: http://10.1.1.12/Centos4/mirrors/centos/4.3/os/i386/CentOS/RPMS/samba-3.0.10-1.4E.6.i386.rpm: V3 DSA signature: BAD, key ID 443e1821 # Trying the public mirror #---------------------------------------------------------------- [root at dyn-0 ~]# rpm -qpi http://www.sunsite.org.uk/sites/msync.centos.org/CentOS/4.3/os/i386/CentOS/RPMS/samba-3. 0.10-1.4E.6.i386.rpm error: http://www.sunsite.org.uk/sites/msync.centos.org/CentOS/4.3/os/i386/CentOS/RPMS/samba-3.0.10-1.4E.6.i386.r pm: V3 DSA signature: BAD, key ID 443e1821 [root at dyn-0 ~]# rpm -qpi http://www.sunsite.org.uk/sites/msync.centos.org/CentOS/4.3/os/i386/CentOS/RPMS/samba-3. 0.10-1.4E.6.i386.rpm error: http://www.sunsite.org.uk/sites/msync.centos.org/CentOS/4.3/os/i386/CentOS/RPMS/samba-3.0.10-1.4E.6.i386.r pm: V3 DSA signature: BAD, key ID 443e1821 #----------------------------------------------------------------
