It seems the problem lies with the sig file.

I have checked /var/cache/urpmi/ and the files with the problem are
located under the /partial dir. It's supposed to be moved to the /rpms
dir and deleted afer being installed.

It seems the mirroring isn't perfect. When trying to rpm -ivU on them,
I get the same error: the sig file is bad or missing (could not open
file).

Any good mirror? I don't *have* to use the closest (BTW: IGLUs mirrorhas
the same problem).

Thanks,
