Nothing installs though. Warning message or not...The rsync no key message stops everything in its tracks. There are no other error messages. It just bumps me back to the command line and doesn't install anything.

Question
installing rsync no key issue
I'm trying to install rsync and am getting this error:

Public key for rsync-3.0.6-1.el5.rf.i386.
I tried all kinds of ways to install it. Is there a way to get this key message to away?
Also, I found a question and answer here that is very similar to my warning message, but isn't the same package I'm trying to install. Again there is some sort of key i need to import or something and I don't knwo where or how to do that.

Ok, then we'll import the key; there are 2 ways
*via their website
rpm --import http://mirror.centos.org/c
*or slam your install cd in your drive and do the same of above, but with the path to the key located in the root of the cd; this is the best of the two
Ok, So i did this and got conflict errors: here were my steps.:
[root@d0527055 ~]# wget ftp://rpmfind.net/linux/da
[root@d0527055 ~]# rpm --import http://mirror.centos.org/c
[root@d0527055 ~]# rpm -i rsync-3.0.6-1.el5.rf.*.rpm
file /etc/xinetd.d/rsync from install of rsync-3.0.6-1.el5.rf.i386 conflicts with file from package rsync-2.6.8-3.1.i386
file /usr/bin/rsync from install of rsync-3.0.6-1.el5.rf.i386 conflicts with file from package rsync-2.6.8-3.1.i386
file /usr/share/man/man1/rsync.
file /usr/share/man/man5/rsyncd
The DAG repository is a horrible mess. Packages will conflict with the base (you should use the protectbase option in yum). Packages may not be kept current. Only use DAG if you absolutely must. Also, limit the packages by using an 'include' line in your DAG.repo file. That's the biggest source of the problem.
Any reason in particular feature you're trying to solve by going to rsync-3.0?

I didn't know there was "I guess" already an rsync version on the server. But now it's too late and now no yum functions work and that's where I'm at now.
you don't want to remove that one. You want to remove the 3.0.X version. If that's not shown when you run 'rpm -qa |grep rsync' then the 3.0 version is not installed (and your problem with yum is elsewhere).
By the way, rpm's from DAG or other repositories are NOT designed to be installed by downloading them and installing them the way you are trying to do. If you want to use an additional repository, add that to your /etc/yum.repos.d/ directory and enable it.
What errors do you see when you run 'yum update'?
after i run yum update i get the y/No prompt and I type y.
Then I get this:
Transaction Summary
==========================
Install 10 Package(s)
Update 128 Package(s)
Remove 0 Package(s)
Total download size: 122 M
Is this ok [y/N]: y
Downloading Packages:
warning: rpmts_HdrFromFdno: Header V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 6b8d79e6
Public key for rsync-3.0.6-1.el5.rf.i386.
Ok. rsync-3.0.6-1 is NOT installed. There are also no errors with your yum configuration.
What exactly is the problem you're trying to solve? rsync-3.0.6-1 is not installed on your system. rsync-2.6.x is installed and probably works just fine.
I don't think you have a problem.
Are there other packages you'd like to install? I'd look at using yum. There are many resources on using yum to install and update packages.
is this right?

No. I didn't think I had to type out every exact command...
yum update
then when it says y or N, press y
Then what are the errors?
Please read some resources about using yum. There are many on the internet. You need some basic understanding about what you're trying to do. You may be prompted to import a gpg key when you run 'yum update' the first time. Say y there too.
You don't have the gpg key installed for the rpmforge repository. You can do that by running this command:
rpm --import http://dag.wieers.com/pack
As I mentioned above though, you really should be very careful when using that repository. I strongly urge you to use priorities as described here:
http://wiki.centos.org/Pac
This will ensure that packages maintained in the CentOS base are not overwritten by packages from the DAG or rpmforge repository.
ai_ja_nai:
"The gpg-key is still not going to be installed unless he imports it."
DO you mean this:
[root@d0527055 ~]# rpm --import http://mirror.centos.org/c
[root@d0527055 ~]# rpm -i rsync-3.0.6-1.el5.rf.*.rpm
file /etc/xinetd.d/rsync from install of rsync-3.0.6-1.el5.rf.i386 conflicts with file from package rsync-2.6.8-3.1.i386
file /usr/bin/rsync from install of rsync-3.0.6-1.el5.rf.i386 conflicts with file from package rsync-2.6.8-3.1.i386
file /usr/share/man/man1/rsync.
file /usr/share/man/man5/rsyncd
If not, I don't know how to import it, and even if I tried it probably still wouldn't work.
quote: "He could never state why he wanted to install rsync from the DAG/rpmforge repository."
Again, I appearantly didn't need to install it in the first place because it was already on the server. Here were my original steps.
I logged into the server for the first time and ran: yum install rsync
Then the warning messages above happened after that, probably because it was already installed on the system. So then I did some searching and found this: http://www.experts-exchang
that said to download the rpm and manually install it that way, so i tried it but got similar errors (it's all in this post) In the mean time, I tried other yum commands to update yum to see if that would fix things in general and then found I was stopped in my tracks for all yum commands. Myabe I'm still not clear...if not please let me know what I'm leaving out.
[root@d0527055 ~]# rpm --import http://dag.wieers.com/pack

It's not an error, it's a warning. Warnings don't prevent commands from completing. If the command doesn't work, look for an actual error message in the output.
You can clear the warning by importing the GPG key used to sign the package
