[klug] Gidday + one question (2nd)

[Nathan Cook]

A bit out of my depth there as well, have you just tried running the command
as stated? I should setup Mandriva on my test box and see if I can break it
as well ;) 

Heres some docos on GNUPG http://www.gnupg.org/(en)/documentation/faqs.html

Nathan,

The following is an answer to another person having the same problem




.....................Here is how I fixed it:
 first do
 export GNUPGHOME=/root/.gnupg
 and then start urpmi with whatever parameters you do.
 
That is because cron daemon runs with HOME=/ and gnupg (which is used by
 urpmi) looks for keys in $HOME/.gnupg
 
Another alternative is to make a link from /root/.gnupg (or where you  have
the keys) to /.gnupg,  but I don't like this method.........................


The only problem is I have no idea what this person is talking about  (
export GNUPGHOME=/root/.gnupg )???
I did say I was a desktop user and is the main reason why I have a love/hate
relationship with Linux.

Are you able to help me on this - do I type this into my terminal?

Thanks,
Peter
