er no actually, i had assumed it was because the mandrake - ad plf keys weren't in the user keyring, i read your reply as saying that using sudo the root environment and thus root's keyring was used anyway so any 'bad signature' warnings weren't due to lack of keys since i do have these keys in root. however, i just urpme'd mplayer, ran: $sudo urpmi mplayer and recieved 'bad signature' warning about all the files, which were plf ones, i chose not to install, then i su'd to root and ran : #urpmi mplayer and as root i received no warnings and the install went straight ahead so i urpme'd mplayer again, exported root's plf key to my user keyring, ran $sudo urpmi mplayer again, and this time, no bad signature warning, suggesting that i do need the user to have keys if using urpmi via sudo, so now maybe i have worked it out! :-)
sorry if i've been confusing, i could have checked this earlier, i just wasn't sure what was 'supposed' to happen :-) bascule On Friday 15 Nov 2002 6:32 am, Vincent Danen wrote: > On Thursday, November 14, 2002, at 06:02 PM, bascule wrote: > > hmm, thanks for that vincent, > > glad i asked 'cos i wasn't expecting that answer :-) > > i'll pay greater attention next time i get a 'key' warning using urpmi > > and see > > if i can't find the root! cause - (i slay me sometimes!) > > =) So I assume you've got it figured out now why it wasn't working for > you before? -- "He dropped his voice still lower.
