Not sure what you've gotten past.
In fact I plan to try Tim's idea just to get a feel from part by
part work. I thought the interplay between the two repos was the
problem. It is not the problem.
Ahhh....OK...so you don't think having both livna and freshrpms
enabled is a problem. I see...
Well then have fun. But, whatever you do, don't say "The Fedora
XXX..." is at fault.
Tim, meet Karl. Karl, meet Tim.

I solved that last night by going to bed.
I am particularly disappointed that you couldn't help Karl solve his
issue.

OK the solution to my problem.
Step 1. I wanted to see what files from vlc are still on my computer.
The method I wound up with was # rpm -e filename. I knew what files to
delete from the list Nigel sent and it is:
The following extra packages will be installed:
SDL_image (1.2.6-3.fc8)
a52dec (0.7.4-8.fc7)
faad2 (2.5-2.fc7)
libcddb (1.3.0-2.fc8)
libdvbpsi (0.1.5-2.fc7)
libdvdnav (0.1.10-3.fc7)
libdvdread (0.9.7-3.fc8)
libebml (0.7.7-3.fc8)
libid3tag (0.15.1b-4.fc8)
libmatroska (0.8.1-2.fc8)
libopendaap (0.4.0-2.fc7)
libtar (1.2.11-9.fc8)
libupnp (1.6.0-3.fc8)
mpeg2dec (0.4.1-2.fc7)
vcdimager (0.7.23-5.fc7)
wxGTK (2.8.4-6.fc8)
xosd (2.2.14-10.fc8)
From this list only libopendaap, mpeg2dec and wxGTK were NOT on my
computer.
Now since I have just the freshrpms repo on my yum in
/etc/yum.repo.d when I did
# yum install vlc it did it perfect almost. The freshrpms repo is
broken today. Here is what the download looks like at one part:
(13/20): vlc-0.8.6d-1.fc8 100% |=========================| 1.3 MB
00:49
http://ayo.ie.freshrpms.net/fedora/linux/8/i386/freshrpms/RPMS/vlc-0.8.6d-1.fc8.i386.rpm:
[Errno -1] Package does not match intended download
It says it doesn't have the right vlc number or whatever. I thought
maybe just a hickup and did this:
[root@localhost ~]# yum --enable=freshrpms install
vlc-0.8.6d-1.fc8.i386.rpm
fedora 100% |=========================| 2.1 kB
00:00 updates 100% |=========================|
2.3 kB 00:00 freshrpms 100%
|=========================| 2.1 kB 00:00 Setting up Install Process
Parsing package install arguments
No package vlc-0.8.6d-1.fc8.i386.rpm available.
Nothing to do
So in summary I fixed my problem by deleting all vlc files on my
computer. I tried to load vlc from freshrpms and it is broken. Someone
needs to fix it. I will try to fix it using the livna repo but I am
going to be careful :-)
Karl
I tried using the livna repo without freshrpms being present and
still get a problem from livna! And it is still the problem of livna
wanting to update files not on my computer. Wierd!
