Quote `rpm.livna.org':

  "RPM.Livna.org is not a standalone repository
   You must use rpm.livna.org with Fedora.us repository

     http://www.fedora.us/wiki/FedoraHOWTO
     http://www.fedora.us/wiki/FedoraSources

   Do not ask for help about missing libaa/libFLAC/liblzo/libdv/...  
   dependencies. Configure your apt/yum/up2date to use the corresponding
   stable/testing/unstable repositories from fedora.us which you use
   from rpm.livna.org and it'll work."
