Ah, so pubkey is not available on keyserver.

Either put the pubkey on a server, or export an ASCII armored pubkey
and import the  using "rpm --import".

If the key is plain and simply unavailable anywhere, then try
deleting the signature of the package. rpm-4.4.2 and later
has a --delsign option to remove the signature on a package.
