Hi Sergey,
   Thanks very much. That solved the problem. Options '--nosignature 
--nodigest' suppress the error message. It still leaves the question of 
why the signatures are bad, and if one has to work to suppress their 
use, what function do they serve?

Anyhow, the binutils install now fails because of an unmet dependancy:

# rpm --nosignature --nodigest -i 
rtems-4.6-m68k-rtems-binutils-2.13.2.1-2.i686.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
        rtems-4.6-rtems-base-binutils is needed by 
rtems-4.6-m68k-rtems-binutils-2.13.2.1-2

I can't find a 'rtems-4.6-rtems-base-binutils' package anywhere. Also, 
this package is not indicated as needed by the download-helper web 
page.  Is it me, or is something wrong?

Pete.
