Seeing as how no one else has a problem, it isn't likely to get easy 
until you fix whatever you've done wrong.  You've posted 2 real errors 
so far: an rpm version-numbering conflict between parts from freshrpms 
and livna, and a missing gpg key for livna, either of which could be 
fixed in minutes.  The rest is mostly rambling about nothing in 
particular.  Are you getting some real error when you download or 
install that livna-release-8.rpm?  If so, what is it? After installing, 
yum should continue past the last error you posted.
