up2date -u fails on fedora 4

Trying to run an up2date -u on my fedora 4 system - fails with:

alsa-lib-1.0.9rf-2.FC4.i386 ########################## Done.
warning: rpmts_HdrFromFdno: Header V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 4f2a6fd2
The package alsa-lib-1.0.9rf-2.FC4 is not signed with a GPG signature. Aborting...
Package alsa-lib-1.0.9rf-2.FC4 does not have a GPG signature.
Aborting...

How to fix?

Thanks...Geoff

Aha!

This fixed it:

rpm --import /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY*

Re: up2date -u fails on fedora 4

In cases where you for whatever reason have no access to the GPG keys you could also deactivate GPG checking in your repos' files in e.g.
/etc/yum.repos.d
by setting

gpgcheck=0

(and blindly trust the packages' integrity)
