With all due respect, your findings do sound convincing; yet I was doubting
that all servers would have corrupt files somehow.

So I just now downloaded:

kernel-secure-2.4.22.21mdk-1-1mdk.i586.rpm

with firebird from:

ftp://ftp.sunet.se/pub/Linux/distributions/mandrake/updates/9.2/RPMS/

and as per rpm there is nothing wrong with the file:

[rootdvg rpm]# rpm -Kv ker*
kernel-secure-2.4.22.21mdk-1-1mdk.i586.rpm:
    Header SHA1 digest: OK (20107c92c3c9004fabfb3a8932de426292714c04)
    MD5 digest: OK (f012fad930247b907adca110925eb13d)
    V3 DSA signature: OK, key ID 22458a98

For this reason, I am guessing that you still have to associate the key:
pub 1024D/22458A98 2000-07-10 Mandrake Linux Security Team
        <securitymandrakesoft.com>
uid Linux Mandrake Security Team <securitylinux-mandrake.com>
sub 1024g/6F3F9BC6 2000-07-10

via Software Media Manager --> Manage keys
with the relative Media repository.

Also, in case you shouldn`t have done so yet, please update popt* & rpm* to
the latest versions.

I don`t mean to offend if it happens to be otherwise; but I hope this helps.

Best regards,
