You actually did not need to remove EVERYTHING which was sourced from
livna. There are a number of packages which are only available there,
but the majority of the things needed by mythtv are built by Axel and
available on atrpms...including the mythtv metapackage. It is intriguing
that the transcode dependency failed as transcode 1.0.5 is available on
atrpms.
Are you sure you had atrpms enabled on that last try?...
If you go to:
http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Fedora_8_-_Package_Dependencies
you will see a long script which I wrote for myself some time ago and
posted on the wiki. It's intended for a 'bare-metal' level install.
Just copy and paste the whole thing into a file and chmod the file to
make it executable.
Note that first ou need the Fedora 'Everything'
repo enabled and the atrpms and livna repos available and enabled in
your yum.repos.d directory. After you have updated against Fedora
Everything, you run the script and it steps through moving the unwanted
.repo files out of sight and installing (with yum) the packages which we
want from atrpms. It then swaps atrpms for livna and picks up the
remaining required packages. (And I am not sure that all of them are
listed as there are some myth plugins I have never tried to use and thus
never built).
This script does not install mythtv. I use SVN and compile myth
separately. But when the script finishes you should be able to just
enable atrpms and run 'yum install mythtv'.
Note that these lists do not include xine-non-free and other livna
packages which you had installed but removed.
I suggest that you then browse to atrpms and individually select and
install (with yum) any other non-myth packages you need, disable or move
the atrpms.repo file, enable livna and then do the same: you should be
down to only about a half dozen pacakges or so at that point which you
can individually install with livna enabled.
Remember to disable BOTH atrpms and livna. Thereafter use --enable-repo
on the yum command line and NEVER EVER use 'yum update' with either
enabled.. That's just asking for the trouble you are now in....
