Have you downloaded the file multiple times?
[john(a)localhost john]$ rpm --import RPM-GPG-KEY.txt
You are not importing ``RPM-GPG-KEY.txt.1'' here -- is the other file a plaintext file all the same? (Probably, but I'm asking to be sure.) Try looking at them with ``less filename'' (obviously replacing "filename" with whatever the file in question is called) in the console -- if all you see is gunk, then that file is not plaintext. (Obviously. :) )
error: cannot get exclusive lock on /var/lib/rpm/Packages error: cannot open Packages index using db3 - Operation not permitted (1) error: cannot open Packages database in /var/lib/rpm error: RPM-GPG-KEY.txt: import failed.
Apparently, you are not executing the command in question as root. Do ``su -'' and enter your root password before running the RPM commands. With sudo is set up appropriately, you could also simply do sudo some-command-to-run-as-root --with-whatever-params without entering a password. -- Regards, Aristotle "If you can't laugh at yourself, you don't take life seriously enough."
