How to fix ‘Package is not signed’ error message installing LibraOffice on Linux?

[Chitti's]

I am trying to install LibreOffice on Fedora 12 Linux system. Well I have downloaded below mentioned file.

LibO_3.4.4_Linux_x86_install-rpm_en-US.tar.gz

Unzipped the above mentioned file and followed the instruction from the ‘readmes’ directory. It is prompting that cd into RPMS directory and executed below mentioned instruction.

yum install *.rpm

I did the same and when I confirmed the package installation I got the below mentioned error message.

Package libobasis3.4-kde-integration-3.4.4-402.i586.rpm is not signed

Let me know if you are aware of any solution to overcome from the above mentioned problem.

Looking at the situation I recommend following command to execute.

yum install --nogpgcheck /mnt/temp/DAT/software/linux/INSTALL/ICA/ICAClient-11.100-1.i386.rpm

Well an RPM package can be signer that mean it can have digital signature of its builder or not signed. Mostly Fedora yum would refuse to install the package which is not signed and that is the only reason you will need to override with ‘—nogpgcheck’. Some other application is having capacity to deal with the RPM packages without making any call to yum. Hence you can install any package without complaining in case it is not signed.

Do you have installed desktop-integration on your system? if so then you should run the below mentioned command.

cd desktop-integration

after that you have to run the below mentioned command.

su -c 'yum install libreoffice3.3-redhat-menus-3.3-1.noarch.rpm'
