Re: up2date aborts when no GPG signature is found.

I can't remember. Many.

I had installed the first beta of Taroon (using "Install Everything").
AFAIR on the next reboot firstboot asked me to register my installation
at RHN. Then I started up2date to upgrade my PC to the latest
patchlevel. A lot of packages were out of date (that was just a few
days before the 2nd beta was released). For many packages a popup
appeared complaining about an authentication problem, but without any
hint that some GPG beta key was missing on my PC. To me it seemed that
the packages were forgotten to be signed with a valid signature.

Of course for each popup the download of the other packages got stuck.
_Very_ annoying. So I switched off that xxxxing GPG stuff and restarted
up2date to get an uninterrupted download and install of all packages,
while I could continue my real work.
