you might try to install GnuPG (a open PGP signing/crypting tool) to get
rid of this error messages
by installing a RPM for Redhat 6.2 like
http://rpmfind.net/linux/RPM/redhat/updates/6.2/i386/gnupg-1.0.6-0.6.x.i386.html
cause it throws the GPG error also if you try to open thous RPMs with
MidnightCommande (mc)
which looks extremly ugly, cause the message is bigger than the error
box of mc.

just a little tip without warranty
