I agree that the only time skipping the check is a good idea is if you've done the research to make sure that it's a known problem and the package is OK. In this case, I know that there's an ongoing issue with rpmfusion, and can recommend it with confidence if (and only if) the package in question is from rpmfusion. I don't recommend turning it off for your complete update/upgrade for obvious reasons.

a fc17 package has nothing to search in a F16 setup and so there
should be no single help to install it with any workaround


Agreed.

this package has to be reported as a bug and not forced
to be updated with or without gpgcheck


In this case, I'd not noted that it was an F17 package and was just thinking about the gpg issue. Thanx for catching that.
