When I run up2date it downloads the 2 up2date packages that it suggests I update first and then hangs. The log file has:
[Wed May 18 09:31:35 2005] up2date updating login info

==============================
The response to the command line (up2date) is:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/share/rhn/up2date_client/gui.py", line 2158, in doInstallation

"but they are not."), deps)
up2date_client.up2dateErrors.DependencyError: RPM dependency error. The message was:
Dependencies should have already been resolved, but they are not.
===============================
If I just try to rpm the 2 up2date rpms:
rpm --install up2date-4.4.5.6-2.i386.rpm up2date-gnome-4.4.5.6-2.i386.rpm
error: rpmdbNextIterator: skipping h# 74 Header V3 DSA signature: BAD, key ID db42a60e

Suggested resolutions:
coreutils-5.2.1-31.i386.rpm
mkinitrd-4.1.18-2.i386.rpm
python-2.3.4-14.i386.rpm
=============================
Now, I already have coreutils-5.2.1-31 <https://rhn.redhat.com/network/software/packages/details.pxt?sid=1005568695&id_combo=35203%7c251001> , mkinitrd-4.1.18-2 <https://rhn.redhat.com/network/software/packages/details.pxt?sid=1005568695&id_combo=500000012%7c90945>, python-2.3.4-14 <https://rhn.redhat.com/network/software/packages/details.pxt?sid=1005568695&id_combo=500000210%7c37620> but I'm a good sport and so I downloaded these from RH and ran the rpm again:
I am now given a new list of RPMs that I should get - which I, according to RHN, already have, but that's OK, I'm game - I download ncurses-5.4-13 <https://rhn.redhat.com/network/software/packages/details.pxt?sid=1005568695&id_combo=500000009%7c241139> and module-init-tools-3.1-0.pre5.3 <https://rhn.redhat.com/network/software/packages/details.pxt?sid=1005568695&id_combo=38423%7c247334> and try again.
Now I just get:
"error: rpmdbNextIterator: skipping h# 65 Header V3 DSA signature: BAD, key ID db42a60e"
repeated until universal heat-death.
BTW, querying a package doesn't work either:
rpm --query python-2.3.4-14.i386 coreutils-5.2.1-31
error: rpmdbNextIterator: skipping h# 74 Header V3 DSA signature: BAD, key ID db42a60e
error: rpmdbNextIterator: skipping h# 65 Header V3 DSA signature: BAD, key ID db42a60e
Does any one have any suggestions? Anything obvious that I am doing wrong? RedHat has already told me that they don't want to talk to me because I have an Academic License. At some point I am going to conclude that being unable to upgrade a machine because of errors that their tool tells me it should have been able to avoid is a violation of the license.
Thanks for any help at all.
