I'm using it on Fedora Core 4. I did try to install the source RPM as a
source RPM, and here are those errors again:
RPM build errors:
InstallSourcePackage: Header V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID

The problem started when I tried to upgrade Python to 2.4.1 (the
distribution comes with 2.2). Python upgraded just fine, but Yum no longer
worked. I tried upgrading to a version of Yum that would play nicely with
the newer Python, but no luck.
Any ideas would be very much appreciated.
Thanks,
Shari
