You are experiencing the clasic 'packaging conflicts' issues that have 
always surrounded third party repositories.

Please understand that Dries and freshrpms and atrpms (and others) are 
maintained by dedicated folks who have contributed much and receive 
little in return.  They are amongst the pioneers of automated packaging 
methods for RH and Fedora.

However, no matter how much hand waving, cursing, threatening, or 
whatever else, these guys just have not been able to agree on the 
conventions used for package numbering.

You can read many flame wars from the recent past on this issue, and I 
do not wish to raise it again here.  I try to give credit where credit 
is due.

In the case of Fedora Core 5, the third party, livna, committed to obey 
the conventions outlined, and remain version specific to extras, 
regardless of right, wrong, or indifferent.  Whether that constitutes a 
'deal', a 'sell out', a conspiracy, or whatever, does not matter.

For Fedora Core 5 I recommend to users that they keep enabled the 
following repos:
core
updates
extras
livna

For things not found there, and there are many, then --enable freshrpms 
(or whatever).
Otherwise, you will begin to experience exactly what is happening here, 
which is a versioning issue on a package that prevents others from 
meeting a dependency.

kino is in livna ...
