The rpm\_key module fails on Fedora 22 due to missing gpg binary.

Fedora 22 has no gpg executable but only gpg2.

Is it my responsibility to provide a link gpg -\> gpg2 or should the  
module cover this out of the box?

open a bug, first I'm not sure rpm\_key should be used on fedora 22 as  
it has switched to dnf as it's default package manager, 2nd the  
rpm\_key should fallback to the gpg2 name if gpg is not found.
