CentOS 5.3 to CentOS 5.4 upgrade and yum_rhn_plugin ==>WAS:Re:[Spacewalk-list] osa-dispatcher not running or not connecting

Tue Nov 3 10:03:58 UTC 2009

Hi Patrick,

That does the trick!
Thanks.
The strange thing is that when I want to upgrade to the CentOS 5.4 repo 
it complains about a missing GPG key (which I found strange because the 
client already got the PGP key when I installed Centos right?)

warning: rpmts_HdrFromFdno: Header V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 7203f491

Public key for yum-3.2.22-20.el5.centos.noarch.rpm is not installed

Kind regards,

Michiel
