APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• It is unable to verify the signature of gskit 8.0.55.28 rpm
  files by using GSKit.pub2.pgp in IBM Spectrum Protect
  Backup-Archive client 8.1.15.2. "NOKEY" is displayed in the
  result of "rpm --checksig --verbose."
  
  Steps:
  # rpm --import GSKit.pub2.pgp
  
  # rpm --checksig gskcrypt64-8.0.55.28.linux.x86_64.rpm --verbose
  
  gskcrypt64-8.0.55.28.linux.x86_64.rpm:
  Header V3 RSA/SHA256 Signaturekey ID 33259e38: NOKEY
  Header SHA1 digest: OK
  V3 RSA/SHA256 Signaturekey ID 33259e38: NOKEY
  MD5 digest: OK
  
  # rpm --checksig gskssl64-8.0.55.28.linux.x86_64.rpm --verbose
  gskssl64-8.0.55.28.linux.x86_64.rpm:
  Header V3 RSA/SHA256 Signaturekey ID 33259e38: NOKEY
