Description Michael Parkinson 2011-04-03 07:58:19 CEST

NOTE: have no idea what component this belongs to.  Just picked west-chamber at random.

On both a Fedora 13 x86_64 computer and also a Fedora 14 x86 computer, the automatic update keeps wanting to install an rpm-configuration-update, both free and non-free, and it always fails because the gpg keys are not right.  This has been going on for weeks.  I am led to write because the problem hasn't corrected itself.  I did report it to Redhat Bugzilla.  They say it is your problem, not theirs.  I tried to find the package that the update daemon is trying to install and cannot come up with anything.  If I pick up the standard packages to install off your website, and tell it to ignore the gpg key as you suggest, I am told that I already have them installed.  I do have both rpmfusion free and non-free installed, but for some reason, the Fedora/Redhat update daemon thinks that something (the configuration) needs to be updated.

I am reporting this just so you are aware that this keeps happening.  If you can point me to the rpm downloads it is trying to install (something that is not the standard package), I could do it by hand by suppressing the gpg key check.  The Fedora update routine will not let you suppress the check.  It just reports an error and refuses to continue.

BTW: When I tried to set up an account, I also received a report that the certificate for the website was not valid.  Perhaps there is a general problem with authentication?

Please don't do that. You could have asked on the rpmfusion-users mailing-list:
http://lists.rpmfusion.org/mailman/listinfo/rpmfusion-users

Can you attach the full output of "yum -y update &> output.log" or try to describe the problem better?

Without an answear, the bug will be set as INVALID.

Comment 3 Michael Parkinson 2011-07-06 02:13:13 CEST

The problem was caused by a missing security certificate and apparently has been fixed (either by Fedora/Redhat or by rpmfusion....I have no idea which) because now the automatic updates are working.
