>> Extras, Freshrpms and Livna are mostly all you need.

my understanding was that the entire livna repo was marked as broken.

looking at the number of packages installed, dag is by far the most complete third party repo. although i am not a fedora user anymore, when i was, dag was the only third-party repo i used (freshrpms is installed by default).

Then your understanding is wrong. Freshrpms is not installed by default, unless you're referring to the sources.list file shipped by Dag, I wouldn't know. If dag was the only third-party repo you used, I'm not surprised you had so many problems with Fedora. Dag does a good job packaging things, but he's also a little . . . overzealous, and that inevitably leads to breakage.
