# [Add The Key For Signed Rawhide](https://johnpoelstra.com/add-the-key-for-signed-rawhide/)

Somewhere along the line the packages in [rawhide](https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Rawhide)
 (soon to be Fedora 12) became signed. This is a good thing. I don’t run a current rawhide box all the time so I’m probably the last one to know, but tonight when I tried to perform an update it kept stopping because it couldn’t verify the signatures on each package.  
 `warning: rpmts_HdrFromFdno: Header V3 RSA/SHA256 signature: NOKEY, key ID 57bbccba`

A couple of educated guesses later and everything works. This [important page](http://fedoraproject.org/keys)
 has a list of the keys for each release.

Import the public key for Fedora 12:  
 `# rpm --import https://fedoraproject.org/static/57BBCCBA.txt`

Installing or updating packages should work fine now.

The other alternative to all this is that I did something goofy way back when resulting in a strange yum repo setup 🙂
