RPM Import: key 1 import failed

Hello,

I recently installed CentOS 6 and I'm experiencing problems with installing RPMforge.

I follow the instructions as described at: [url=http://wiki.centos.org/AdditionalResources/Repositories/RPMForge]Installing RPMforge[/url]

When I do:
[code]rpm --import http://apt.sw.be/RPM-GPG-KEY.dag.txt[/code]

I get this error:
[code]error: http://apt.sw.be/RPM-GPG-KEY.dag.txt: key 1 import failed.[/code]

Even when I do:
[code]$ wget http://apt.sw.be/RPM-GPG-KEY.dag.txt
rpm --import RPM-GPG-KEY.dag.txt
[/code]

I get the same error as result.

Probably this easy to solve but as I'm not really experienced with Linux, I cant find a solution for this problem.

That prompt shows you are not root when you did this. You need to be.

I have executed the commands as root.

I do not think you followed these instructions...

I can replicate the problem as root. Same error with the URL or a local file. The GPG key is already installed as I have rpmforge-release installed. If I first remove the key (rpm -e gpg-pubkey-6b8d79e6-3f49313d) I can then install it again without error. This seems to be a bug. It at least needs to be documented, and/or put out a more informative error message.

I suspect you already have the GPG key installed. Run[code]rpm -q --qf "%{NAME}-%{VERSION}-%{RELEASE} \n %{SUMMARY} \n" gpg-pubkey[/code]
See if you get an output including[code]
gpg-pubkey-6b8d79e6-3f49313d
gpg(Dag Wieers (Dag Apt Repository v1.0) <dag@wieers.com>) [/code]
