trouble with yum localinstall of libapreq2

[xiongchiamiov]

I've been trying for a few hours to get libapreq2 working on CentOS 5.2. Installing from CPAN fails, and downloading the source from CPAN and compiling it manually succeeds, but puts the files in odd directories. When I move them to the directory filestructure that Apache expects, they return errors. However, I'd prefer to get libapreq2 installed via yum, so I'll leave off more details on the compiling route unless I absolutely have to go that way.

Background: I've only been using Linux for a little over a year, but I kinda dived in. I have experience with APT and Arch Linux's pacman, but not rpm.

I found some rpms via rpmfind.net, which led me [url=ftp://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/epel/5Server/i386/]here[/url]. I've downloaded libapreq2 and libapreq2-devel. This is what I did to install libapreq2:
[code]
sudo yum localinstall libapreq2-2.09-0.rc2.1.el5.i386.rpm -y

Public key for libapreq2-2.09-0.rc2.1.el5.i386.rpm is not installed
[/code]

Yum list doesn't show it installed:
[code]
[pearson@hostname35248 packages]$ yum list | grep apreq
[pearson@hostname35248 packages]$
[/code]

Now, I'm guessing that the fact that a public key for the package is not installed means that the package itself is not installed (why can't they just say that?). Reading [url=http://www.centos.org/docs/5/html/yum/sn-yum-installing-frompackage.html]here[/url] seems to indicate that I need to import a public key from somewhere, but I'm a bit at a loss as to where I'm supposed to get it.

I appreciate your help, and please excuse any stupid overlooks on my part.

At first glance, you do not have the GPG key for the repo that has the package. You should make sure to install that key. You could run "yumdownloader libapreq2" (part of the "yum-utils" package) then install via "rpm -ihv libapreq2-2.09-0.rc2.1.el5.i386.rpm" or run "yum -y --nogpgcheck install libapreq2". But you should still really strive to get the key!

Thanks, that's what I was looking for! I could have probably found that out myself on a normal day, but when you're tired and frustrated, it'd nice to be able to ask someone else.
