Boy, I'm not having a good week. Yesterday my monitor died. Given it was six years old, but I had hoped for a little longer life from it.
But here's today's irritation:
I was trying to upgrade glibc, in the hopes that this might solve my X woes.
It goes through the dependencies checking and what not, and then reports that one of the packages has an unknown GPG signature.
I stopped the install.
I have run into this on initscripts as well.
Is it the repository? Is it someone in redhat screwing up? Is there some package or configuration I have failed to get right? What's going on here?
I am this far -> <- from throwing out FC3. This is sad because I was looking towards using it at a client site, who is in desparate need of an upgrade, as they are running RH 6.2. I kid you not.

Give us a clue then. Which repo? Which key ID does it complain about?
Bear in mind that many packages make it into rawhide without being signed.

Okay, that time it worked without comment. I turned off the "testing" repo.
Do they over lay each other? For instance, if a package was in updates and testing, would the testing one show up instead of the update one?
I hope so, otherwise I get to be disturbed.

Looks like there may be quite a bunch of repos there. Since you were having a problem with a specific package and its signature, I was looking more for a pointer to a specific RPM...

If the packages had the exact same epoch, version and release, then it would probably depend on the order in which the repos were processed by yum/update/whatever. Otherwise, you should always see the latest one.

Since you mentioned that you are looking into FC3 to put on a client's machine, IMHO, I'd stay away from testing / unstable repos. Unless you intend to be there 24 /7, maybe it's a better idea to put only stable packages in the client's machine.
Well, but that's only one opinion: better safe than sorry!
Cheers,
