Wagner (For Use with Fedora Core 3) <email@address> Is this _exactly_ the same name you used when generating the key ? I definitely doubt it. You can use only the email address for the "%_gpg_name" setting, gpg will figure out the proper key. Try 'rpm --resign --define "_gpg_name foobar" *.rpm' to see that you'll get the same error. The whole idea is that rpm asks for the passphrase _before_ checking if you are using a valid key and when it tries to invoke gpg it invariable prints the same [misleading] error message.
