Symptoms

While updating/patching manually spacewalk connected clients using #yum update getting below error/message

[Spacewalk_Client]# yum update
Loaded plugins: langpacks, rhnplugin, ulninfo
This system is receiving updates from spacewalk server.

You have enabled checking of packages via GPG keys. This is a good thing.
However, you do not have any GPG public keys installed. You need to download the keys for packages you wish to install and install them.
You can do that by running the command:
rpm --import public.gpg.key

Alternatively you can specify the url to the key you would like to use
for a repository in the 'gpgkey' option in a repository section and yum
will install it for you.

For more information contact your distribution or package provider.
