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 16:31:20 UTC 2009

For what it's worth:
https://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?viewmode=flat&topic_id=16736&forum=37

It seems that the yum packge is signed with the CentOS test gpg key?

This seemed to do the trick for me (I know ugly fast script ;) :

basedir='http://spacewalk.redhat.com/yum/0.6/RHEL/5/x86_64/os/Packages/'
wget $basedir/rhn-check-0.6.4-1.el5.noarch.rpm
wget $basedir/rhnlib-2.5.13-1.el5.noarch.rpm
wget $basedir/yum-rhn-plugin-0.6.2-1.el5.noarch.rpm
wget $basedir/rhn-client-tools-0.6.4-1.el5.noarch.rpm
wget $basedir/rhn-setup-0.6.4-1.el5.noarch.rpm
wget $basedir/rhn-setup-gnome-0.6.4-1.el5.noarch.rpm
wget http://dev.centos.org/centos/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-testing
rpm --import RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-testing
rpm -Uvh *.rpm

Kind regards,

Michiel
