I have more information about the key problem.
Some time ago the package rpm in opensuse was patched with
a pgp hardening changes from upstream (bsc#1185299)
This caused a problem with the current packman key.
However, the key itselt is not bad. It's just that
the rpm code before patching and the code after patching
will consider the same key as different.
The solution for me was to delete the packman key
(rpm -e gpg-pubkey-1abd1afb-54176598) and then,
when asked, reimport the key.
After that, everything worked fine.
