You got me. I did run into GPG problems when I first started using
Clint Harshaw's yum.conf, as I think I said; asked about it; got told what
to do to get the various keys; did it; and happily ran yum for some time.

Right, alas! -- nor did I understand it on reading it again ten minutes
ago. 

When it tells me to do (for Red Hat 8.0 and later) "rpm --import
<keyfile>", does it mean to substitute "FEDORA-LEGACY-GPG-KEY" or all
of "http://www.fedoralegacy.org/FEDORA-LEGACY-GPG-KEY"; -- or some third
thing -- for <keyfile>?

I see a note on that site about a bug involving multiple keys, but the
error message it uses as an example does not match what I'm getting. I
don't know what to make of that.
