OK....

As noted in an earlier message, I managed to recreate what I believe is 
Karl's original problem.  In doing so I've rediscovered what others are 
probably fully aware of, but I am not for the simple reason that I don't 
use either the freshrpms or livna repos...

Simply put, (feel free to respond with "I told you so") both repos 
contain vlc, x264 and other packages.  These repos are mutually 
exclusive.  Unless you are interested in inflicting pain on yourself do 
not, at any time, enable both.  And never, ever....unless you know what 
you are doing use more than one of these on your installed system.  Pick 
one...and stay with it.

So, Karl, unless you really know what you've done (as in kept detailed 
notes) you may best be served by starting over again and picking ONE of 
these repos and using it and only it.  As you've stated, you're not 
smart enough to deal with the complexities that are introduced by using 
multiple 3rd party repos.
