grafana repo gpgme.GpgmeError when installing packages

[bjolo]

This is not a supported or recommended way of installing packages in containers, but sometimes operators need to exec into containers and install some tools to help troubleshoot. However, this gives and error due to grafana repo. See error message below.

Workaround is to disable gpgcheck in /etc/yum.repos.d/grafana.repo
