[SOLVED] yumdownloader "Cannot find a valid baseurl for repo: livna-source"

[philp]

Hi all
I have a problem with systemsettings crashing. I thought that I would try and investigate it by downloading the sources and building it for debug. Unfortunately when I do the command
yumdownloader --source kde-workspace-4.8.4-1.fc17.src.rpm

I get the error
Enabling livna-source repository
Could not retrieve mirrorlist http://rpm.livna.org/mirrorlist-source error was
14: HTTP Error 404 - Not Found : http://rpm.livna.org/mirrorlist-source
Cannot find a valid baseurl for repo: livna-source
and it appears to terminate.

What am I doing wrong?

Any help would be very welcome
Thanks

Livna repo has been merged with some other repoes into http://rpmfusion.org/ repo. Delete livna repoes and add rpmfusion repoes.

Livna has only been providing libdvdcss for quite awhile now. I believe you can get that one package from atrpms.

Thank you smr54, Keldorn

Afraid that I dont fully understand the way rpm's are handled yet. Thanks very much for helping me get past this problem. I dont know if I did wrong, but I simply removed the file /etc/yum.repos.d/livna.repo and yumdownloader then worked fine. I guess I should have used a command line method to remove the repo, but what I did seems to have worked. I can now proceed to build the systemsettings binary for debug.


Thanks again so much for your very kind help
