Try this - http://doxfer.webmin.com/Webmin/FAQ

2.When upgrading from version 1.050 from within Webmin, I get the error message RPM signature verification failed
This happens because Redhat 8.0 and some other recent Linux releases have changed the way that RPM GnuPG? signatures are stored, causing Webmin's older method of importing the key used to sign packages to fail. The solution is to either turn off the Check GnuPG? signature option on the upgrade form, or add my public key to your RPM key list with the command :
rpm --import http://www.webmin.com/jcameron-key.asc

If you get an error importing the key "error: http ://www.webmin.com/jcameron-key.asc: import read failed(0)."

Do this.....

Code:  

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[root@f tp ~]# rpm --import http://www.webmin.com/jcameron-key.asc
error: http ://www.webmin.com/jcameron-k ey.asc: import read failed(0).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 


I have to admit not having seen this before but did find a work a round I thought I would share.
1.Open up www.webmin.com/jcameron-key.asc in your browser an d copy and paste the output
2.Login to your serv er and go to a temp location for me it was /tmp
3.Create a new file Code:  

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
nano public.gpg.key
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
and then paste in the key you copied form the browser. Save the file and exit.
4.From the CLI then enter Code:

if you are using debian, then you must  be trying to install it from the apt repository, but it looks like it's for "Sarge" which is debian 3. Have you tried installing from the .deb package?

Have you created the file public.gpg.key and given full path of the file with the command, if you are in different directory?
