You have prefixed your helm upgrade command with sudo, which is using root account to try to run the command. helm is per-user configuration and you have not set up the kubefed repo for the root user on your machine.

Try running the upgrade command without sudo, simply helm --namespace kube-federation-system upgrade -i kubefed kubefed-charts/kubefed --version=0.9.0 --create-namespace --debug.
