Yes and no.
Yes, it's the same idea.
No, because with FSDB the signatures will be stored somewhere else, on a
trusted site, not on the system itself (not even on the owner's
network). Hence, even if your entire network gets compromised (unlikely,
but still...) you still have a trusted signature database to compare
with.
Authenticate the package :
# rpm --checksig
http://updates.redhat.com/9/en/os/i386/eog-2.2.0-2.i386.rpm
http://updates.redhat.com/9/en/os/i386/eog-2.2.0-2.i386.rpm: (sha1) dsa sha1 md5 gpg OK
Check the installation again the trusted package :
# rpm -V -p
http://updates.redhat.com/9/en/os/i386/eog-2.2.0-2.i386.rpm
If the gpg key is not imported or the package have a bad signature :
# rpm --checksig apt-0.5.5cnc6-fr1.i386.rpm
apt-0.5.5cnc6-fr1.i386.rpm: (SHA1) DSA sha1 md5 (GPG) NOT OK (MISSING KEYS: GPG#e42d547b)
