You may want to disable or remove the freshrpms and livna repo files
in /etc/yum.repos.d and then use yum list extras to find what packages
are still installed from either of those repositories.  Something
like:

yum --disablerepo livna --disablerepo freshrpms list extras

might help you locate the packages that are still installed from
either livna or freshrpms.

Once you clean everything up and only have one of those repositories
enabled, you should find that things work a bit smoother.  There are
sometimes still occasional hiccups, especially with packages that
extend things that are in Fedora, but nothing more than you see
occasionally even within the stock repos.

The responsibility lies with each user/admin.  If you enable third
party repositories that conflict with each other, you are responsible
for cleaning it up.  It's a mess, for sure.  That's why it's not
recommended or supported.
