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

Is this a little better? How do I move my repo's back to /etc/yum.repos.d./
----
OK, it seemed like a simple yes/no question but here it is now an hour
later and no answer.
This is my suggestion (and I have no idea if it will work) I don't think
that these fedora*repo files were the right ones and I wanted to know
what happened to the 48 other files that used to be in /etc/yum.repos.d
but I guess I won't know that answer tonight.
First you must
su -
Then you can paste this next section into a terminal and it should do
everything
cd /etc/yum.repos.d
mv NOT-USED/fedora.repo .
mv NOT-USED/fedora-updates.repo .
mv NOT-USED/fedora-updates-testing.repo .
mv NOT-USED/livna.repo .
yum update
and report back what happens
I'm going to bed
Craig
I used the instruction previously,thats why all my repo's are in NOT-USED.
