Does the message "MD5 Signature check failed" mean just that the package
checksum is not correct, or that the package is not correctly digitally
signed?

If the latter, then I think that using the suggested command is a really
bad idea, as this will *bypass* this signature checking; if the package
has been trojaned, the above will happily install the trojan. 

Using rpm --checksig would be the go....

Just because I'm paranoid doesn't mean they're not out to get me....
