Problem:

So I wanted to install PostgreSQL 9.2 to test something. So I
google "postgresql 9.2 rpm" and get sent to:

http://yum.postgresql.org/repopackages.php

which is not available by HTTPS at all. Not ideal but ok, I
download it over HTTP because I can check the signature on the
file right?

Wrong, I can't find the key anywhere. I try pgp.mit.edu, I even
google site:postgresql.org 442df0f8 and all you get are archived
emails with the warning that the signature can't be checked. No
copy of the key.

Kurt, pgp.mit.edu is deprecated. I recommend searching 0x442df0f8
on pool.sks-keyservers.net which does return a key.

Weird, I must have typo'ed it, in any event it returns a key with that
value and no signatures. No idea if it's legitimate or not. I can
check it against an RPM I downloaded over HTTP which sort of ends me
back up square one.
