  If you can track down the GPG key for the repository source, you can
add it to the trusted keys for your system with:

	rpm --import /path/to/key-file

or even

	rpm --import http://url/to/key-file

  On my FC6 system, I seem to have an /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/jpackage.asc
file, which is owned by package yum-fedorafaq-6-2007.02.03 (which I
installed many moons ago to activate various third-party repositories.
including jpackage).  That may not be helpful to you.  I just checked,
and I can't seem to find the magic RPM that Fedora FAQ provided.  I
suspect it's been obsoleted with the rest of Fedora 6.  I'm thinking
my next home distro may be CentOS; I hate being on the upgrade
treadmill.

  If you can't find a key file, you can try this:

	rpm --upgrade --nosignature dk-1_5_0_14-linux-i586.rpm

  That tells RPM to install the package but ignore signature check
failures.  Not always a good idea, but if you got the package file
from a trustworthy source, you should be okay.
