Matt:  There were several directories for fedora and freshrpms along 
with livna and planetccrma.  I didn't experience any conflicts with the 
yum, until I tried to install fluidsynth, and ran into a fedora extras 
file that overrode my effort to install a file from planetccrma.  I 
ended up deleting the fedora directories and freshrpms directories, 
rather than simply renaming them.  So, now I need to replace those 
directories, right?
# nano /etc/yum.conf
[root at localhost ~]# cd /etc/yum.repos.d
[root at localhost yum.repos.d]# ls
livna-devel.repo  livna.repo  livna-testing.repo  planetccrma.repo
[root at localhost yum.repos.d]# cd /var/cache/yum
[root at localhost yum]# ls
livna  planetccrma  planetcore  planetextras

Do you have the fedora and freshrpms directories listed in 
/etc/yum.repos.d and /var/cache/yum directories?
Thanks, Tom
