Trying to apply the latest updates to an Athalon base fully updated
CentOS 4.2. In the past used the update process kicked off by clicking
the hand-dandy red icon. This failed, so I tried yum. Somewhere in the
process, it complained that there was no GPG key for the lame libraries
(IIRC, everything's a little hazy after all the Googling trying to fix
this).
Anyway, tried "yum update", same problem (I think). Tried importing some
GPG keys that I thought were from CentOS, tried rm -rf on the cache,
tried "yum clean headers" and "yum clean packages" (suspecting
temporarily bad mirrors?), etc.
Reread *in toto* the yum guide again, googled for hours, which has
caused the observed hazing of the cornea and glazing of countenance.
The rhn config file is out-of-box stock, but I've added the extras, kb
and such to the repos directory. All this has worked in the past.
Caveat: I manually installed mplayer on the system before I learned
enough to realize it is available from the other repositories. I've not
yet corrected the situation, which I suspect is the underlying cause of
the 1st error regarding the GPG key for the lame libraries (which I
could not resolve, btw).
I have *not* googled for what I'm about to show, having given up for the
week, except for this posting.
Edited Yum output is shown below. Update goes into an endless install
process after reporting sources are downloaded already.
