In the OP's quoted mail, notice the repository with the name "google". It's just that metadata download problems with livna prevent yum from working at all. It's like a denial-of-service for yum. "yum install picasa" should just work and not fail because yum chokes on bad metadata. Hopefully in the not too distant future the metadata files will be renamed, so a repository still carries old metadata while syncing updates. > > > yum install picasa > > > Loading "fastestmirror" plugin > > > Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile > > > google 100% |=========================| 951 B 00:00 --snip--
