This package isn't part of SL system. If you have installed it manually, it's up to you to deal with that problem. However, it could be that its vendor (Oracle) actually signs it, but you didn't install oracle repository files so its certificate was never installed; I'm not sure. Unless you have some specific requirements, generally you can use SL-supplied java-1.6.0-openjdk and java-1.6.0-openjdk-devel packages instead of package above, then you won't have this kind of problem. But if you are sure you strictly require Oracle Java implementation, then, well, either deal with it, or try checking oracle website to see if you are using recommended way of installing it. (note that using nogpgcheck all the time or setting it in yum.conf is a really bad and dangerous practice) -- Vladimir
