[WBEL-users] Trying to update WBL

[Jeff Yana]

I am a little confused about the updater facility in WBL. I have tried 
to run up2date and yum both but with no success. Below is a copy of my 
yum.conf file

Running up2date I receive the warning about the key, which has already 
been imported:

###################################################################################################

Your GPG keyring does not contain the Red Hat, Inc. public key.
Without it, you will be unable to verify that packages Update Agent 
downloads
are securely signed by Red Hat.

Your Update Agent options specify that you want to use GPG.

To install the key, run the following as root:

    rpm --import /usr/share/rhn/RPM-GPG-KEY

Does WBL still use the RH signed packages, making this necessary, 
rendering the necessity of using the key useless?

Running yum, here is what I get:
