Run: rpm -e rpmfusion-release-nonfree rpmfusion-release-free Then visit the web page quoted above and try to add the "free" repository configuration again. There are multiple ways how to do it. Choose the method you think you can handle easily. If you suceed, continue with the "nonfree" repository config.
