Rodd,

Thanks for the hint. I'm new to yum, having been forced into using it
when up2date went splat with python errors and a "stealthy" Forward
button. Howsomever, the yum problem hasn't been so much one of gpg
errors as it been one of dealing with roughness in the repository at
this point in the development process.

Right now my FC4t2 system is fully updated (via rpm and FTP downloads)
except for the following packages that up2date says are needed:

struts11		struts11-1.1-1jpp_2fc			struts11-1.1-1jpp_4fc
tomcat5			tomcat5-5.0.30-2jpp_3fc			tomcat5-5.0.30-5jpp_1fc
tomcat5-admin-webapps	tomcat5-admin-webapps-5.0.30-2jpp_3fc	tomcat5-admin-webapps-5.0.30-5jpp_1fc
tomcat5-webapps		tomcat5-webapps-5.0.30-2jpp_3fc		tomcat5-webapps_5.0.30-5jpp_1fc

My fedora-devel.repo file had no gpgcheck entry, so I added the =0 line
as you suggested. Then running 'yum update tomcat5*' cleared the bottom
three entries, leaving only the struts11 update still undone.

Wouldn't you know, it's hung up on a struts11-webapps-tomcat5
dependency :-) ??
