I vaguely remember having this issue early in F18 development. I believe the
verify page initially had the 22B3B81A key but for some reason it had to be
changed. The DE7F38BD key is the current one. There's a bug
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=861836 which has never been acted on.

The FAILED messages for missing files have always been there. The warning about
improperly formatted lines is recent. I filed
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=733561 against this bug it was
closed as NOTABUG due to concerns that blocking that warning could cause
security issues.
