now you are finally telling us that you are using fedora 8
Fedora 8 is NO LONGER supported and the rpms have been moved into the archives or the mirrors lolonger are working ( some might be still up and running ,but not all of them)
and using the fedora 10 rpmfusion repo file WILL NOT work on fedora 8
two things you can do
UNINSTALL any fedora 10 rpms that might have been installed on fedora 8 .and use a version of fedora that has NO MORE UPDATES , on SECURITY FIXES , and no new programs to install .Unless you build them from the source code .
