hi guys,
i just installed FC12 (from scratch) in a HP Laptop without problems, but at the moment i requery for SOFTWARE UPDATE, it detects 437 updates to be installed, what is fine. The proble is that the update process fails:

Code:

Error Type: <class 'yum.Errors.RepoError'>

Error Value: Error getting repository data for installed, repository not found

  File : /usr/share/PackageKit/helpers/yum/yumBackend.py, line 3125, in <module>

    main()

  File : /usr/share/PackageKit/helpers/yum/yumBackend.py, line 3122, in main

    backend.dispatcher(sys.argv[1:])

  File : /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/packagekit/backend.py, line 699, in dispatcher

    self.dispatch_command(args[0], args[1:])

  File : /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/packagekit/backend.py, line 657, in dispatch_command

    self.update_packages(only_trusted, package_ids)

  File : /usr/share/PackageKit/helpers/yum/yumBackend.py, line 1948, in update_packages

    signed = self._is_package_repo_signed(pkg)

  File : /usr/share/PackageKit/helpers/yum/yumBackend.py, line 1437, in _is_package_repo_signed

    repo = self.yumbase.repos.getRepo(pkg.repoid)

  File : /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/yum/repos.py, line 121, in getRepo

    'Error getting repository data for $s, repository not found' $ (repoid)

it looks like a repo link unfound ...

may you help me guys ?

thanks in advance

In the administration tools, you an disable software updates.

Mr-Biquit,
what do you mean?
the menu system+administration+software update does exist, but the update process fails.
thanks for help

Quote:

Error getting repository data for $s

I think, you will have to show which repo's
you have in /etc/yum.repos.d/

Something is wrong, no repo should be named $s .

.....

Code:

ls /etc/yum.repos.d/

fedora-rawhide.repo  fedora-updates.repo

fedora.repo          fedora-updates-testing.repo

i would like also to include livna.

Code:

cat fedora-updates.repo

this is the fedora-updates.repo file, which is include in the FC12 DVD distro.
does it have any errors ?
baseurl is commented ...

Seems to be a known yum related bug .. ?

# yum deplist yum
.. shows all yum dependencies :
python yum-metadata-parser pygpgme python-sqlite
python-urlgrabber rpm-python rpm python-iniparse

May be you updated one of those to a new unstable
testing version ?

The command : rpm -qa --last | less
Or / and : rpm -qa --last > last-packages.txt
... will show when package installs happened.
.....

thanks knudfl,
it was bug reported in the links you provide us; solution is:

Code:

it is updating FC12 for my laptop know :-)

but the way, i have a similar problem with my pc, upgrading from FC10 to FC12, an anhundled error appears after the reboot ... any way, if problem continuous i will open another thread providing more information .. i hope this is enought!

thanks for help.
