This is quite "key" to your problem.

Your subjects states "another problem when using Livna.org yum updates". 
This suggests that your statement "yum keeps aborting, and I keep 
getting a message saying to run yum clean" is pertinent to the Livna 
repository. Even though in the body of your email you have not made this 
clear.

Now, you have said this...

-------------------------------------------

How do I do the latter? Fwiw, I got whatever it is that I have by doing

rpm --import http://www.fedoralegacy.org/FEDORA-LEGACY-GPG-KEY

--------------------------------------------
If you look at the name of this fileFEDORA-LEGACY-GPG-KEY it should be 
fairly self explanitory that this is the GPG key for the fedora legacy 
system.
In light of Alexanders statement, that Fedora Legacy is different from 
Livna, one could guess that we may require another key, for Livna. Now 
he didn't make this clear, but he may have made the above assumption.
But yes, it may not be obvious that each repository is almost certanly 
going to have it's own key (unless they are related, like Livna, Livna 
testing, Fedora Main, Fedora Updates, Fedora Testing, Fedora 
Development, etc...)

Now Alexander did give you a like to rpm.livna.org, if you had have read 
this several paragraphs down you would have seen this.


    GPG key

All packages are signed with the rpm.livna.org GPG key 
<http://rpm.livna.org/RPM-LIVNA-GPG-KEY>. Before you download any of our 
packages, you will need to install this key.

If you are using apt, execute as root

wget -P /etc/apt/gpg http://rpm.livna.org/RPM-LIVNA-GPG-KEY

rpm --import /etc/apt/gpg/RPM-LIVNA-GPG-KEY

If you are using yum, execute as root

rpm --import http://rpm.livna.org/RPM-LIVNA-GPG-KEY

(Should you be using both yum and apt, there is no need to run rpm 
--import twice .)

We recommend that you use the apt and yum packages from fedora.us 
<http://fedora.us>. Should you choose not to do so, you will also need 
to install the fedora.us GPG key <http://www.fedora.us/FEDORA-GPG-KEY>.

In short, you need to run

rpm --import http://rpm.livna.org/RPM-LIVNA-GPG-KEY

Which will import the GPG for rpm.livna.org. You will now have at least two GPG keys, the one for Fedora legacy, and Livna.

Alexander is one of the most helpful people in this group, I think your 
critasism is a bit over board.
Yes at times he can be "short" with people, but very rarely is rude, 
please, you should also take in to account that his first langauge is 
NOT english, and as such he may appear more abrupt then he would in his 
native tongue.

I hope my reply has been of more use to you (but you should have got a 
reasonable amount from Alexanders, if you had have takent he time, OR 
asked a more specific question).
