Re: Public key for perl-Compress-Raw-Bzip2-2

You need to import the packager's public key into the rpm db on any host
using which you want to use the epel repo's.

The key is here.. http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/RPM-GPG-KEY-EPEL-6

Soo, you can do this...

rpm --import http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/RPM-GPG-KEY-EPEL-6

To get it into your host's rpm db.

What is happening is the rpm/yum utilities are, by default tying to ensure
that you are only installing packages from a trusted source. This is very
good for example if say someone broke into epel and inserted a version of
some package, say, my-evil-version-of-httpd.rpm in place of
httpd-<version>.i686.rpm. That person would not be able to "sign" the
packages using the appropriate private key from which the epel public was
derived and rpm/yum would catch it and warn you.

If for some reason you want to override this behavior (bad idea) you can
use the --nogpgcheck flaf to yum.
