This isn't the first time this has happened, and I doubt it'll be the last. It's a side effect of having to run multiple repositories... (When I was running FC5 a few months ago, this would happen pretty much every update)
It should always be "Fedora first, Livna second" when breaking dependencies in an update. A hierarchy of repositories. Fedora packagers and Livna packagers can try to coordinate their updates, but nevertheless Livna would usually rebuild packages against released Fedora updates (unless Livna started doing fragile things like building against Fedora Test Updates or the Fedora Extras needsign repo). In either case, there would be a window during which dependencies are broken until the two repos are in sync again. The window gets bigger when Livna releases an update in advance that breaks deps (e.g. the xine-lib-extras-nonfree in this thread), and when it takes an unknown time for Fedora rel-eng to release the corresponding update (e.g. (xine-lib).
