Freshrpms is a 3rd party repository that rebuilds and replaces some of
the standard components from fedora core/extras and may not be
compatible with anything else. Livna builds against the core/extra
components and requires that you have those repositories enabled. I'm
not sure about x86_64, but I recently installed vlc from livna on an
i386 FC6 with no conflicts.
