imported a missing planetccrma gpg-key for the audio packages i had
installed, and no net-traffic anymore!

time rpm -qa | grep openoffice.org2
openoffice.org2-writer-1.9.77-1
openoffice.org2-core-1.9.77-1

real    0m0.984s
user    0m0.841s
sys     0m0.062s


btw. the auto gpg-key lookup in rpm is a really cool thing!


thanks!
