Thank you. I was able to update with this command:
yum --exclude=directfb --exclude=libtunepimp --exclude=dbus-qt update

This is the second time that Livna has caused problems in the past
month. Would it be wise to switch to Dag? I know how important his
repo is to him, he even once helped me fix a dependancy problem
personally. The only reason that I dont use his repo now is because I
dont want to break Extras.
