Exactly, I first did read the subject and see " livna.org - yum -
problems".

Yes, and then the Fedora Legacy GPG key import mentioned. So I thought
"he tries to use rpm.livna.org repository and imports the fedora legacy
key?"

Thank you Douglas for your kind efford to make my thinking (more)
obvious.

The unofficial FAQ site has some notes about this:

I can deal with criticism. In this case we have basic misunderstandings
on both sides? Maybe I did not recognize the point where "Beartooth"
struggled.

Yes, unfortunately I have to live with the risk to misexpress. And if
"Beartooth" is a "professional explicator of texts" (his words) he knows
that misunderstanding each other is the usual case in the field of
communication through words - the risks of interpretation ;)
