Your yum.conf is out of date. You will need to update your yum
configuration to point to FC-3 repos. The first thing you should do is
to remove the repo definitions from /etc/yum.conf; they now go in
separate files in /etc/yum.repos.d

This is why you are getting the messages:

You have specified these repos in yum.conf but FC-3 has default entries
for these already set up in /etc/yum.repos.d

The livna repo must be used in conjunction with Fedora Extras.

Create /etc/yum.repos.d/livna-stable.repo containing:

[livna-stable]
name=Livna.org Fedora Compatible Packages (stable)
baseurl=http://rpm.livna.org/fedora/$releasever/$basearch/RPMS.stable
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=http://rpm.livna.org/RPM-LIVNA-GPG-KEY

Create /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-extras.repo containing:

[extras]
name=Fedora Extras - $releasever - $basearch
baseurl=http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/extras/$releasever/$basearch/
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/extras/RPM-GPG-KEY-Fedora-Extras

You should then be good to go, unless you have further broken repo
configs.

Paul.
