OK, I've created a repo under my control and pointed zypper to it and
verified it works OK.  Corrupting the repomd.xml file to cause the
signature to fail gets a warning message from zypper and signing it
with a different key also gets a message asking me to accept the new
key, so I think its operating correctly with the patch reverted.
