I'd argue that yum does work well in almost all cases, but it does require that the repositories that it's pulling from are setup properly. Much of this needs to be done by the repo maintainers, though there is some work that needs to be done by users. It's important not to enable repos that aren't designed to play nice together. I stick with Core, Extras, and Livna because they are designed to work together. Adding Dries, FreshRPMS, or other rpmforge repos sometimes conflict with things in core, extras, or livna. The workaround above may have saved you some head scratching, but it circumvented an important security check. Yum was complaining because it could not verify the integrity of the package via its GPG signature. Installing manually you skipped that check. How would you know if that package was trojaned? Installing packages manually that have problems in yum could also make it difficult for yum to do its job in the future by introducing packages that have dependencies outside of the repos that yum knows about. The better solution (to me) would be to find out why installing audacity from extras was trying to pull in a libid3tag package other than the one available in extras[1]. There is a repo in your configuration that is not installed correctly/completely. A properly configured repo would make its key available so that when you try to install a package from that repo and need the key installed, it can prompt you and install that key.
