FC4 yum broken after upgrade


Howdy. I just upgraded to Fedora Core 4 (DVD) from FC3, and now I cannot use yum.

Here is the output from any attempts to use yum as root (update, install, check-update, etc):

Code:
Repository extras already added, not adding again
Setting up repositories
Cannot open/read repomd.xml file for repository: livna-stable
failure: repodata/repomd.xml from livna-stable: [Errno 256] No more mirrors to try.
Attempting yum check-update as a user yields:

Code:
Repository extras already added, not adding again
Setting up repositories
Reading repository metadata in from local files
Warning could not create sqlite cache file, using in memory cache instead
livna-stab: ################################################## 217/217
Added 217 new packages, deleted 0 old in 0.78 seconds

Warning could not create sqlite cache file, using in memory cache instead
base      : ################################################## 2623/2623
Added 2623 new packages, deleted 0 old in 13.17 seconds
Warning could not create sqlite cache file, using in memory cache instead
extras    : ################################################## 903/903
Added 903 new packages, deleted 0 old in 9.55 seconds
Attempting to install or update as a user results in a "You must be root to perform this command" finger wagging.

My /etc/yum.conf should be the same one as I used prior to updating, but I re-copied it today from the yum.conf offered at http://fedorafaq.org

My /etc/yum.repos.d/ lists:

fedora-devel.repo
fedora-extras-devel.repo
fedora-extras.repo
fedora.repo
fedora-updates.repo
fedora-updates-testing.repo

Has anybody else developed this difficulty? What should I do?!

Yeah my yum is buggered after upgrade aswell, i'm guessing need to replace wit hthe latest FC4 repos.

Shame really, everything else upgraded perfectly (cept firestarter don't seem to work) also had a feature i didn't notice before, asks if i want to make the session default, which is great cause i could never make fluxbox default before

Okay, fixed.

Should anybody be having similar difficulties, here is what I did.

First, download http://rpm.livna.org/fedora/4/i386/R...2.4.noarch.rpm

Second, should you be unfamilar with rpms, as root cast
Code:
rpm -ivh livna-release-4-0.lvn.2.4.noarch.rpm
Third, edit /etc/yum.conf by editting out the entire section of Livna. And I mean everything.

Finally, enjoy your working yum.
