livna requires extras and won't work without it. Extras is enabled by
default in FC4 so you should have it. The fedora-extras.repo file is
included in the fedora-release package, so you could try reinstalling that:

I get:
package fedora-release-4-2_3.rhfc4.at (which is newer than fedora-
release-4-2) is already installed
I think I did have extras before my last big yum update. At least I know
I never removed it and this was a base FC4 install.
I tried creating a fedora-extras.repo based on:
[extras]
name=Fedora Extras - $releasever - $basearch
baseurl=http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/extras/$releasever/$basearch/
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/extras/RPM-
GPG-KEY-Fedora-Extras
When I try to install vlc I still get similar results:
yum install vlc

Now it's turn for you to wear those glasses ;)
Are you saying that fedora-release-4-2_3.rhfc4.at isn't the ATrpms
version of the package (fedora-release)? The OP appears to have had to
create fedora-extras.repo for himself.
I need some new glasses (really).
