I have ran into that same problem from time to time. I am using Fedora Core 3 and sometimes get errors like that. I just ignore the updates until either later on in the day or the next day. It could be too many updates on the same network. I know Red Hat use to have a distribution method for installing updates across multiple servers. But that was back in the day of RH 7.2 Robert Williams Programmer / Web Developer / Network Administrator Covenant Data Systems, Inc. http://www.covenantdata.com rwilliams@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx -----Original Message----- From: redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Dave Basener Sent: Wednesday, May 18, 2005 10:06 AM To: General Red Hat Linux discussion list Subject: Can not update a freshly loaded Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS I have a new academic license for 9 machines. The first machine went fine, but the second machine has been the same problem after 4 separate full, clean installs. I have varied the package mix and in the latest I used the default packages. 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 [Wed May 18 09:31:35 2005] up2date logging into up2date server [Wed May 18 09:31:36 2005] up2date successfully retrieved authentication token from up2date server [Wed May 18 09:31:47 2005] up2date availablePackageList from network [Wed May 18 09:33:10 2005] up2date solving dep for: ['up2date'] [Wed May 18 09:33:12 2005] up2date solving dep for: ['up2date'] [Wed May 18 09:34:10 2005] up2date installing packages: ['up2date-4.4.5.6-2', 'up2date-gnome-4.4.5.6-2'] [Wed May 18 09:34:16 2005] up2date RPM dependency error.

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.
