Freshrpms is a 3rd party repository that rebuilds and replaces some of 
the standard components from fedora core/extras and may not be 
compatible with anything else.  Livna builds against the core/extra 
components and requires that you have those repositories enabled.  I'm 
not sure about x86_64, but I recently installed vlc from livna on an 
i386 FC6 with no conflicts.
