Fedora 17 : GPG key retrieval failed: [Errno 14] Could not open/read file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-rpmfusion-free-fedora-17-i386

Today I tried to update my freshly upgraded Fedora 17 but it failed with the error:
GPG key retrieval failed: [Errno 14] Could not open/read file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-rpmfusion-nonfree-fedora-17-i386


On RPM Fusion I found the page with keys:
http://rpmfusion.org/keys?action=AttachFile&do=view&target=RPM-GPG-KEY-rpmfusion-nonfree-fedora-17


Downloaded the following key:
[get | view] (2011-10-28 21:34:45, 1.7 KB) [[attachment:RPM-GPG-KEY-rpmfusion-nonfree-fedora-17]]
...and moved it to /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/


Then I created a symbolic link to the key:
# ln -s RPM-GPG-KEY-rpmfusion-nonfree-fedora-17 RPM-GPG-KEY-rpmfusion-nonfree-fedora-17-i386


Finally I cleaned YUM and run update again:
# yum clean all
# yum check-update
# yum update
...
Is this ok [y/N]: y

    Thank you. I had a similar issue with F18 after I ran the F17 easylife script on F18. Went to the rpmfusion site and let the installer run the two rpms (for free and non-free IIRC) Now yum update is working again.

    Same sentiment here. Thank you very much for the clean, concise (and best of all) correct instructions.

    Very clear and to the point. I used this approach for FC18 with slight modifications to the symlink and file names. (Why do we end up with these things to tweak sometimes? Oh well...). Grateful for the intelligent help!

    You can also just do yum --nogpgcheck to get around this issue. I know it's not the most secure choice, but it is a quick, dirty solution to the issue.
