What about this on the Mandrake Club web page (Posted on December 1):

Distro: Bugzilla is now the only way to report bugs

Bugzilla is now the only location where to report your problems

------------------------------

So are we to follow Warly's instructions, or follow some other recommended
method? What is the preferred method? 

If you let us all know the best way to bring these things to the attention
of the appropriate individuals, and I'll make sure to proceed that way in
the future.

And I did get a response from Warly very quickly via Bugzilla, something
commendable.

>> In this case, the bug filing has already been done.

Let's see... there were a lot of folks having issues with the file, rpms on
several community as well as official update mirrors all possessed the same
erroneous signature, Mandrake Update as well as urpmi rejected the rpm, the
error was verified at the GUI level and at the command line. I didn't want
to install an update rpm rejected for an incorrect signature, so I filed a
report.

I still think a bug report was the best way to flag the issue. But you let
us know how you'd rather we proceed.

Thanks for re-signing and re-uploading the problem rpm.

We all appreciate your hard work Vincent, and we may not always proceed just
exactly as you would hope, but our heart is still in the right place.

The important thing is that the community worked. We all helped each other
and you were actually there and responsive to users.

Thank you.
