Hi,

stupid question with hopefully easy solution ;)

I tried to install cpp-3.2-7.i386.rpm via rpm, but it always ended up with the following error message:


[root@server]# rpm -i cpp-3.2-7.i386.rpm
error: cpp-3.2-7.i386.rpm: V3 DSA signature: BAD, key ID db42a60e
error: cpp-3.2-7.i386.rpm cannot be installed


I tried several mirrors, but none of the downloaded cpp RPMs would install (all ended with the same error (only the key ID changed)).

Any ideas welcome

From Red Hat Linux's docs:

Starting with version 4.1 of RPM, the signature of a package is checked when installing or upgrading a package. If verifying the signature fails, you will see an error message such as:

error: V3 DSA signature: BAD, key ID 0352860f

If is it a new, header-only, signature, you will see an error message such as:

error: Header V3 DSA signature: BAD, key ID 0352860f

If you do not have the appropriate key installed to verify the signature, the message will contain NOKEY such as:

warning: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 0352860f
