Hi,
As I got a message on our Redhat Enterprise 4.5, :
Your GPG keyring does not contain public key ...
I copy & paste from https://www.redhat.com/security/team/key.html
those cryptic characters starting from the lines (inclusive)
-----BEGIN PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK-----
. . . . .
-----END PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK-----
As I saved this file in Windows to a thumb drive & use "cp " to
copy it, there's a lot of ^M characters in this file which I then do
"dos2unix /media/usbdisk/saved_file.txt"
Then copy the converted saved_file.txt to /usr/share/doc/rpm-4.5
& issue using root account :
rpm --import /usr/share/doc/rpm-4.5/saved_file.txt"
but got the error :
"warning: can't get exclusive lock on /var/lib/rpm/Packages"
What's the cause of the above error? I'm using root & the
protection of the saved_file.txt is 755.
I read somewhere that /var/lib/rpm/Packages could be locked,
so what can I do? I thought of renaming Packages to something
else & make another copy of Packages :
mv /var/lib/rpm/Packages /var/lib/rpm/Packages_2
cp -p /var/lib/rpm/Packages_2 /var/lib/rpm/Packages
Would this help? Appreciate any suggestions.
Thanks
U
