Hello,

Due to some problems that I was facing, I had to format and install F11 on my laptop. After installation the first thing that I did was yum update kernel It went smoothly and kernel got downloaded. But after its download got complete, it asked me for download of gpg key. I have never come across this so wanted to know if it's ok or is it something abnormal. Here's what it asked for(1/2): kernel-PAE-2.6.30.9-90.fc11.i686.rpm | 22 MB 29:59
(2/2): kernel-firmware-2.6.30.9-90.fc11.noarch.rpm | 675 kB 00:52
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Total 12 kB/s | 22 MB 30:54

Importing GPG key 0xD22E77F2 "Fedora (11) <fedora@fedoraproject.org>" from /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora-i386

Hello shahdharmit,

Yes, it's normal. And you should agree to it. But just FYI, it's not asking to download the key. The key is already in the folder /etc/pki/rpm-gpg (take a look there). It was put there the day you installed Fedora. Yum is asking if it's okay to import it into the rpm database. And it is.
