[ATrpms-users] Problems building dovecot-1.0.0-8_56.src.rpm on RHEL3

[Scott A. Hughes]

Hello Axel.

I ran out of time earlier to test build the RPMs within my own environment, and
started to look at them in detail today. Please see below for comment.

Thank you. After downloading and performing and rpm --checksig on them, I noticed
the following.

[sahughes at homer autotools-rhel3]$ rpm -K *.rpm | grep NOT
libtool-1.5.22-6.1_17.src.rpm: (sha1) dsa sha1 MD5 GPG NOT OK
[sahughes at homer autotools-rhel3]$

I think the above src.rpm on http://people.atrpms.net/~athimm/autotools-rhel3/ may
be corrupted. Can you please verify and replace if necessary?

Cheers,

Scott.
