    I try to update my system and it seems to be impossible using yum (I
    have already sent some messages).

    First attemp:
    ---->
    [root@totoche root]# yum update
    Gathering header information file(s) from server(s)
    Server: ATrpms for Fedora Core 1 stable
    Server: Fedora Core 1 - i386 - Base
    Server: Dag RPM Repository for Fedora Core
    Server: FreshRPM
    Server: JPackage 1.5 for Fedora Core 1
    Server: Livna.org Fedora Compatible Packages (stable)
    retrygrab() failed for:
      http://rpm.livna.org/fedora/1/i386/yum/headers/header.info
      Executing failover method

    .Package mplayer-mencoder needs libxvidcore.so.2, this is not
    available.
    <----

    libxvidcore.so.2 belongs to xvidcore-0.9.2-0.lvn.1.1 which is in livna
    repository!!!

    Second attemp (for the fun, it occurs many times):
    --->
    [root@totoche root]# yum update
    Gathering header information file(s) from server(s)
    Server: ATrpms for Fedora Core 1 stable
    Server: Fedora Core 1 - i386 - Base
    Damaged or Bad header.info from Fedora Core 1 - i386 - Base
    This is probably because of a downed server or an invalid header.info
    on a repository.
    <----

    Tried two or three times more, changing repositories, then:

    [root@totoche root]# rpm -e mplayer-mencoder

    Next attempt:

    <----

    most of these packages are available in the repositories I used....

    So, I changed my yum.conf:

    ....
    exclude=zinf* php-domxml xmms* mplayer*
    .....

    Last attempt (after many others with errors in headers, url not found,
    whatever....):

    I recall: mplayer is excluded in yum.conf, but yum doesn't care!

    Any help?
