(Wrong move, I know!) Which got me direct to rmpfind." The key was asked for installation, only then did I receive the message saying that the said packages were already installed. Don't say "Silly you!". I already said "%%$#@#$ silly me!". Just tell me how to find which key/repositories are signed to provide updates on my system. I'll check and remove any reference to rpmfind. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
