The old "mixing repositories" topic. The RPM in reuqest comes from
http://tettnang.freshrpms.net/rpm.html?id=989.

I would suggest: either use fedora.us + rpm.livna.org or freshrpms.net.
If fedora.us ans rpm.livna.org has higher priority then erase the
freshrpms.net libdvdnav package and install the livna.org one instead.
