    That might be the case for excalibur but I have a wierd problem with 
yum install vlc. This has been a simple task once you enable the livna 
repo. But I screwed up. Almost the first thing I did was set up vlc. It 
worked fine. But then I wanted to remove all the pulseaudio files that 
were left over. I used yum remove pulseaudio and it had a long list of 
things to remove, which it did. Alas it removed vlc too.

    But not totally it seems. Here is what happens when I try yum 
install vlc:

[root at localhost ~]# yum install vlc

    This makes me think vlc-core is still on my computer but I can't 
find it and rpm will not erase it:
[root at localhost ~]# rpm -qi vlc-core.i386 0:0.8.6d-3.lvn8
package vlc-core.i386 is not installed
package 0:0.8.6d-3.lvn8 is not installed

    I can't figure it out. Why is yum needing to update a missing rpm? 
By the way I also tried yum clean all.
