Well, I fixed the vim problem. It turned out that the Fedora 12 version was something like 2.7.3, and the Fedora 14 version was 2.7.2, for some reason. So, because the version number was lower, the package didn't update and was left in a broken state. Updating after the official launch of Fedora 14 didn't help, again because of the version number. But removing the old package and reinstalling it worked just fine.
I just punted on the livna issue by removing the repository from my list. Maybe I'll look into that later.
