[nidhintomson]

Dear friends
I have installed Fedora core 3 on my system. i want to do the updates availabe for it. I tried with yum command. I was not able to do it successfully. i am hearwith attaching the error i got. i request you people to help me out.


[root@linuxserver ~] # yum update

You have enabled checking of packages via GPG keys. This is a good thing. However, you donot have any GPG public keys installed. You need to download the keys for packages you wish to install and install them.

You can do that by giving the command :

rpm - - import public.gpg.key

For more information contact your distributor or package provider

[root@linuxserver ~] # rpm - - import public.gpg.key
error : public.gpg.key : import read faild.
[root@linuxserver ~] #

This is the exact error wht i am getting. pls help me out to get through.

with regards Nidhin

Hi nidhintomson,
Run the following commands : -

[root@linuxserver ~] # rpm --import /usr/share/rhn/RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora
[root@linuxserver ~] # rpm --import /usr/share/rhn/RPM-GPG-KEY

Try running YUM after the above commands and post the results.

Hi nidhintomson,
Become root and run the following command : -

rpm --import /usr/share/doc/fedora-release-3/RPM-GPG-KEY*

If in case you cannot find files in /usr/share/doc/fedora-release-3/ in your current installation of Fedora Core 3, you can download the .rpm file from here : -

ftp://fr.rpmfind.net/linux/fedora/co...e-3-8.i386.rpm

and install it and then run the above mentioned command. Post the results after you have done this.
