There is an option to accept the key to be trusted. When the option "always" is selected, the key is not properly imported and the error message persists.

Resolution

Option 1: Repairing the custom RPM DB:

1. Run a backup of the "/var/lib/spacewalk/reposync/root/var/lib/rpm/" directory
2. Install "db48-utils" package
3. Run:
# db_verify /var/lib/spacewalk/reposync/root/var/lib/rpm/Packages
# rpm --rebuilddb --dbpath /var/lib/spacewalk/reposync/root/var/lib/rpm/
 4. Run "spacewalk-repo-sync" again and check if the issue reoccurs

Option 2: Remove the custom RPM DB:

NOTE: this will remove any GPG key that was manually accepted for a custom/3rd party repositories. Keys would need to be accepted manually again:

1. Remove the content in "/var/lib/spacewalk/reposync/root/var/lib/rpm/"
2. Re-run "spacewalk-repo-sync"

Cause

Corrupted custom RPM database. It may happen when filesystem runs out of the disk space.
