I receive the following error message when starting yumex after installing the linva repository.
failure: repodata/repomd.xml from livna: [Errno 256] No more mirrors to try.

You can try starting 'yumex -n' from a command line
and deselecting the repositories causing problems
and try again.
Running yumex -n --root from the command line works.
Thanks.
