I Google'd and Yahood' and found a post that mentioned adding a Yum
Repository for Google. I now have this repository:

[google]
name=Google - $basearch
baseurl=http://dl.google.com/linux/rpm/stable/$basearch
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
priority=20

But, when I try to yum install picasa, it ends with:

When I have more time, I will try to find a place on Google where I
can ask about the public key that is missing. Stephen, I don't know
how you got it to install, but, I'm glad that you did get it to
install. Lanny

It didn't take long to google "Google RPM Key" and come up with:

http://www.google.com/linuxrepositories/index.html

Specifically the RPM page has the info you need to import their key.

I will say that their instructions are not great:

The key you need to get is on this page

Follow these instructions
http://www.google.com/linuxrepositories/rpm.html

I'm not sure why I could not install the RPM for this. Then, after I
added the Yum repository for Google, and still no joy, I went to the
CentOS Wiki and I read about installing the rpmforge repository, which
I have working properly. Then I searched for and found the key for
Google and installed and verified it.

My last attempt ended with the following:

So, it looks like  there is a problem unpacking that file. I think
SELinux is set to permissive on my box, so that should not be causing
this problem. Ideas? If someone here doesn't have a solution, I will
post in a google group. TIA! Lanny

Matt: I get the Digest edition. I came up with the above, before I
read your reply online, and I  have that key installed, but as you can
see from my post previous to this one, installing the key did not
solve the problem. Had I not come up with their key, your reply was
dead on and is much appreciated! Thank you! Lanny
