[packman] Evergreen 11.1 Repos

[Hans-Peter Jansen]

Hi Packmaniacs,

could somebody explain the rational of Packman repos for Evergreen 11.1, 
that are in fact unusable due to an invalid signature format?

While it is possible to install packages without checking the signature
manually, this results in a damaged rpm database. 

These repos would be very useful for another year at least, but not in 
this form. Could this be resolved somehow without much effort on your 
side? (I haven't looked into the BS signer, but no other repo suffers 
from these obstacles.

Best regards,
Pete
