Bug Description

smart update may fail to recognize a channel as valid if it doesn't find the gpg key that signed the repository. When this happens, smart will display an error while downloading information from that channel. It should also display the key id that signed it, so the user can quickly take corrective action and import the key.

Or it could offer to import the keys directly, like it does for rpm ?

I don't think we should worry about importing the key. Let the user decide what to do, like apt-get does.
