This is caused by a down repo or no network connection. Steven M. Parrish KDE & Packagekit Triager Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers
This: 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/yu does not look like an informative error message, by a long shot. "Error getting repository data for installed," - installed _what_? Is "installed" a repo name? (If it is, it's better to enclose it in '', that would make the message clearer) "Error Value"? This is a hacker-speak, as in "error structure/variable has this string value". User should not be told about it that way. User doesn't need to know about error structures being propagated inside the program, he needs an understandable message so that he can understand and then fix the problem. Something like Error getting data for repository 'foo'. Connection to 'bar' failed: <reason> or Error getting data for repository 'foo'. Can't read 'URL': <reason> would be much better.

This message is a reminder that Fedora 12 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 12. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '12'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 12's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 12 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 12 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2010-12-02. Fedora 12 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
