it wasn't a 'download' command...it was an install command. It either
installed or failed. I understood your comment to mean that it
installed.

No wonder your system is screwed up! You have a mixed bag of left
over packages from older version(s) of Fedora. Do the following and
see how many FC6 packages are still installed on your system:
rpm -qa | grep fc6
Remove all those found and replace with the F8 packages.
Notes:
1. If you have not already done so, update your Livna repository to
point to the F8 directory.
2. Repeat the above for other versions of Fedora, i.e. fc5 and/or f7.
Kam there are to many FC7 (60+) for me to handle,these must be
left overs from my FC7 - FC8 dvd upgrade.
Redirect the output to a file, e.g. "rpm -qa | grep f7 > f7leftovers".
Do it for fc6 as well. You can use an editor to copy and paste the
unwanted package(s) to a terminal window or learn to use some neat
^
rpm -e pasted-unwanted-package-name
Just to clarify what I meant.
unix utilities such as sed or awk to operate directly on the file
contents.
Livna repos have '/$releasever/$basearch' in them
That's good but you need to verify that the URL is valid.

Antti Huhtala brought to my attention an error in the above example.
It should be "rpm -qa | grep fc7 > f7leftovers". The Fedora packagers
are still using fc in the suffix, even for Fedora 8.
Thank you, Antti.
Additionally, I took a quick peak at the F7 and F8 Everything
repositories. Some fc6 packages are included as part of the F7
distribution. For F8 a mix of fc6 and fc7 packages are also part of
the distribution. What a packaging mess!
Well, David. Please excuse my butting in. It seems that the Fedora
packagers have thrown a spanner into the works. Now, it's nearly
impossible to find and clean up left over packages using just the
distro suffix. Unless rpm or any of the package managers shows a
conflict leave the older package(s) alone.

You have given completely worthless and a lack of informed advice.
grep'ing rpm packages for earlier designations does not, repeat does not
necessarily indicate that the package isn't intended to be installed on
the current $releasever.
There is however a method now for finding obsolete packages...
yum -y install yum-utils
package-cleanup --orphans
This information is indeed documented on the Fedora Project Wiki (kudos
to them for making this valuable info available)...
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/YumUpgradeFaq
People who want to help others should be familiar with this page
Craig
Yum-utils was already installed, package-cleanup --orphans cleaned out
some 80 files
Changed SElinux to permissive and believe or not but I can print anything
and my sound is back after losing it during the last
upgrade,SElinux-enforcing
seems to be very restrictive.
You said something earlier about reinstalling four files that where
dependencies.
Thanks for all your help Craig david
