Ok, that's not good.  You should have gotten _something_ back.  If everything was \
good, you would have seen this: # rpm --checksig xalan-j2-2.6.0-21.2.noarch.rpm
xalan-j2-2.6.0-21.2.noarch.rpm: sha1 md5 gpg OK

That's because you're being a little impatient.  The command has to grind through the \
4GB+ of data and generate the checksum.  That can take a while, particularly on a \
loaded (or simply just slow) system.

I agree whole heartedly with that sentiment.  There really are some very nice things \
in SP1, and of course lots of bug fixes.
