Drop livna as a repository. They are one of the conflicting version for
Fedora. DAG uses a straight fedora setup to build with and does not have
the conflicts that livna does. livna is trying to be a superset of
fedora.

Go into your /etc/yum.repos.d directory and remove the .repo from all of
the livna configs. That will turn them off. You will need to download a
new yum.rpm or use the one from the install CD's. rpm -e yum then
install the new one.

Here's the repo file for dag (dag.repo).

[dag]
name=Dag RPM Repository for Fedora Core
baseurl=http://apt.sw.be/fedora/$releasever/en/$basearch/dag
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1

and here's the one that works for base (fedora.repo):

[base]
name=Fedora Core $releasever - $basearch - Base
#baseurl=http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/$releasever/$basearch/os/
mirrorlist=http://fedora.redhat.com/download/mirrors/fedora-core-
$releasever
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1


Line wrap warning on the mirrorlist= line
