probably rpm needs to be fixed to again accept keys that were totally 
fine before the update.

So I'd suggest filing a bug against 15.3 rpm package.

(I don't know much about key handling in RPM, so maybe the key is really 
broken and should not be used as-is, but then why is it acceptable to 
libzypp?)
