stall the Red Hat GPG key. This key is required to authenticate the packages downloaded from Red
Hat Network. If you run the command line version the first time you start

Without it, you will be unable to verify that packages Update Agent downloads
are securely signed by Red Hat.
Your Update Agent options specify that you want to use GPG.
