except of course, that which is a problem. Every problem you have with
packaging has to be caused by the below.

[david@reddwarf ~]$ I know it needs a big clean up.

----
were you expecting things to just clear up by themselves while you make
a complete nightmare of things?

Craig

No I not expecting things happen automatically but I dont have the confidence

to hack into files and make the mess worse than it already is.

----
OK, try this...(you need root so simply 'su -')

this is supplied so you could simply paste this all after you su to root
per above

cd /etc/yum.repos.d
mkdir NOT-USED
mv * NOT-USED # clear out all repos for the moment
mv NOT-USED/fedora-development.repo.rpmsave fedora-development.repo
mv NOT-USED/fedora-updates-testing.repo.rpmsave
fedora-updates-testing.repo
mv NOT-USED/fedora-updates.repo.rpmsave fedora-updates.repo
mv NOT-USED/fedora.repo.rpmsave fedora.repo

mv NOT-USED/livna.repo.rpmsave livna.repo
mv NOT-USED/livna-testing.repo .
mv NOT-USED/livna-devel.repo .

# at this point, you should be able to yum update without much issue and
I am presuming that the latest installs of fedora-release and
livna-release put their repo files rpmsave because the originals were
tainted.

The rest of the repos you can add by mv the files back but only do 1 or
2 at a time so you will see if any have problems.

Myself, I would probably move the rpmforge.repo back but it might be an
issue depending upon how old it is. Possibly kde-redhat stuff (may be
old), maybe jpackage...again, it could be old and broken

that was intended for BEFORE you decided to move things around

See my other e-mail

----
you could move all of the repo files into the NOT-USED subdirectory and
run the commands again and that should work

Craig

Now my repos.d is hosed

[david@reddwarf ~]$ sudo ls /etc/yum.repos.d/
NOT-USED
[david@reddwarf ~]$

----
cd /etc/yum.repos.d
mkdir NOT-USED
mv * NOT-USED # clear out all repos for the moment

fedora-updates-testing.repo
mv NOT-USED/fedora-updates.repo.rpmsave fedora-updates.repo
mv NOT-USED/fedora.repo.rpmsave fedora.repo

mv NOT-USED/livna.repo.rpmsave livna.repo
mv NOT-USED/livna-testing.repo .
mv NOT-USED/livna-devel.repo .

Craig

[david@reddwarf ~]$ cd /etc/yum.repos.d/NOT-USED/
[david@reddwarf NOT-USED]$ ls

[david@reddwarf NOT-USED]$

Is this a little better? How do I move my repo's back to /etc/yum.repos.d./
