[packman] Packman: wrong repomd.xml signature

[oldcpu]

While smart is ok as a temporary work around, it still would be good to 
see some sort of approach here that works better. ...

I note its not possible to build an 11.1 rpm from an 11.2 .src using 
"rpmbuild --rebuild file.src.rpm" because one gets the key error.
