upgrading FC12


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

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

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 .

Seems to be a known yum related bug .. ?
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=543322
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=553115

> > Google .. repository not found' $ (repoid) ..
http://www.google.com/webhp#hl=en&so...168296788512a5

# 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.
