Disabling Livna will not get rid of any dependencies of packages from
Livna that are already installed.

I did some additional digging because I have Livna enabled as well and
confirmed the culprit is indeed directfb. If you exclude it, the
remaining updates should fly. In the meantime, I'll see about posting a
bug to Livna's Bugzilla system (if someone hasn't already done this) to
try and speed the process along.

Cheers,
