OK I am convinced. There is something on MY computer I need to clean

Do you have any idea what else needs cleaning?
"yum --enable=freshrpms clean packages" or
"yum --enable=freshrpms clean all"
when you work with repositories which are disabled by default.
How are those above different than # yum clean all?
"yum clean all" only cleans the cache for each _enabled_ repository.
When you have disabled freshrpms by default, "yum clean all" does NOT
touch anything in /var/cache/yum/freshrpms/.
Well I did do all the manual clearing of /var/cache/yum/freshrpms/
and it still fails. So does it fail when I force it to use livna.
It is simply a case where if you use # yum remove pulseaudio it does
but it takes with it critical files that are not easy to replace. There
is somewhere a file missing or a simlink broken. And I and everyone on
this list can not find it.
So I say lesson learned is DO NOT use yum remove unless your a real
expert.
