yes thats probably because rpm is missing the Public GPG key these
packages are signed with.

this should explain what gpg is about
http://www.mandrakesecure.net/en/docs/gpg.php

so what you need is to get the relevant key and import it in the rpm key
database.

the error message contains a key id, search for this id here
http://www.mandrakesecure.net/en/cks/

then copy the key and paste it in a file (key.asc for instance)
then run

$ rpm --import key.asc

now the error message should stop unless the package is really damaged
or modified.

cheers,
Alaa
