OK. I have kept in my yum.conf, only compatible repositories: Fedora.US/Livna
and commented out the others.

New attempt this morning:


[root at totoche root]# yum update
Gathering header information file(s) from server(s)
Server: Fedora Core 1 - i386 - Base
Server: Fedora Core 1 -- Fedora US mirror
Server: Fedora Linux (stable) for Fedora Core 1 -- Fedora US mirror
Server: Fedora Core 1 updates -- Fedora US mirror
Server: Livna.org Fedora Compatible Packages (stable)

Package xmms-faad2 needs faad2 = 0:2.0-0.lvn.0.1.rc1.1, this is not available.

I *do not understand*!!!

1- I excluded all xmms in yum.conf:

exclude=zinf* php-domxml xmms* mplayer*

2- I have the exact version of faad2 already installed:

[root at totoche root]# rpm -q faad2
faad2-2.0-0.lvn.0.1.rc1.1

AND this package is available in:

http://rpm.livna.org/fedora/1/i386/RPMS.stable/
