Rex, I do not know which package manager Fedora uses.

apper

I suspect it's a problem with initial import of rpm gpg keys.

Comment 3 Rex Dieter 2011-12-05 15:40:37 UTC

A quick-n-dirty workaround is to run (as root):  'yum update' once which will prompt to import keys, then apper will be happier again.

I can't recall the commits but this was fixed with some other things EULA, Rex Dieter has tested and Apper from git now works.
I'll soon make a new release.
Thanks.
