Fedora core Test1. Apt-get upgrade , downdloaded a number of RPM packages from freshrpms.us.net/development and put them in the /var/cache/apt/archive and they are later versions than installed . Why can't I rpm -Uvh *.rpm those packages? Apt-get comes back with something about "Unsigned /var/cache/apt/archive (for all the packages) what gives, Am I of the understanding that you just can't upgrade Fedora Test1 core?
Thanks Jim Tate

Well the packages from development are not GPG-signed like it says and the fedora.us apt is configured by default to disallow installing unsigned packages and packages with unknown signature. Run with "-o rpm::gpg-check=false" to temporarily disable, or change the configuration permanently in apt.conf since the packages from development aren't going to be signed in future either, probably.
And yes you can install the stuff with just rpm -Uvh as well.
