Argument Description

Specify a package name to download (and install if you
chose that option). Only specify the package name. Do not
include the version or release numbers. For example, the
command

installs) the python package if there is a newer version
available and all of its dependencies. If the package

4.6.1. Installing the Red Hat GPG key
The first time you run the graphical version of the Red Hat Update Agent , it prompts you to
install 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 Red
Hat Update Agent , you need to install the Red Hat GPG key manually. If you do not have it
installed, you will see the following message:
Your GPG keyring does not contain the Red Hat, Inc. public key.
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.
To install the key, run the following as root:
/usr/bin/gpg --import /usr/share/rhn/RPM-GPG-KEY
To install the Red Hat GPG key, use the command displayed:
/usr/bin/gpg --import
/usr/share/rhn/RPM-GPG-KEY
, or use the following steps:
Note
GPG keys must be installed for each user. To install the key to use with Red Hat Network, import the
key while logged in as root.
