    Well I did do all the manual clearing of /var/cache/yum/freshrpms/ 
and it still fails. So does it fail when I force it to use livna.

    It is simply a case where if you use # yum remove pulseaudio it does 
but it takes with it critical files that are not easy to replace. There 
is somewhere a file missing or a simlink broken. And I and everyone on 
this list can not find it.

    So I say lesson learned is DO NOT use yum remove unless your a real 
expert.
