I still don't understand that. So here is the question I'd like to see 
answered:

Why can't libmpeg2 from RPM Fusion be imported to Livna devel with a EVR 
that is lower then the one of the package that was build for RPM Fusion?

Because that's what I'd like to do, to let the Livna devel users test 
the package now, as that will be a benefit for the RPM Fusion package 
later, as potential bugs will get found earlier if users get the 
packagers earlier.

Don't yell if there is nothing to remove in Livna ;-) -- the updated 
mpeg2dec from your Co-Maintainer David never made it to the repo; it was 
just accidentally mentioned in the build report.

I suppose that's mostly my fault, but I often have a really hard time 
following your mails. Take the "REMOVE this package now." from above. 
What is this here libmpeg2 from RPM Fusion? The older mpeg2dec in livna? 
The new one that the libmpeg2 Co-Maintainer commited to Livna? I knew 
which one you meant -- but a bit more "--verbose" would be helpful to 
understand your mails.
