Livna repo broken?

[tokyoi at mac.com]

Dear All,

Thanks for the various bits of information and help on this issue. I am 
having fun and games installing the latest nvidia driver onto a clean 
install of Core 6: yum tried to delete my previous kernel (i.e. 2798) 
and install the current kernel on top of the current kernel, as it were:

[yum output:]

--> Running transaction check

I then tried to install the driver by installing the kmod and xorf rpms 
manually but got the following output when I said,

    $ sudo rpm -ivh kmod-nvidia-1.0.9746-1.2.6.19_1.2895.fc6.i686.rpm 
xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-1.0.9746-7.lvn6.i386.rpm
    error: Failed dependencies:
        kernel-i686 = 2.6.19-1.2895.fc6 is needed by 
kmod-nvidia-1.0.9746-1.2.6.19_1.2895.fc6.i686

Since I updated my install first thing this morning, that is precisely 
the kernel I have:

    $ uname -rm
    2.6.19-1.2895.fc6 i686

I think I will just leave it for a short while, since I was also about 
to install the various non-free packages. Hope this helps towards the 
solution of the problem.

Best wishes,
