You could tell a bit more about your installation and the packages you've installed before. The mail you've quoted mentions "Fusion Linux Version 15" in its subject line, but you claim you've upgraded from Fedora 15. "Fusion Linux" is fusionlinux.org, a remix of Fedora with merged add-on packages, probably from RPM Fusion. In a terminal, "yum list extras" would list all installed RPM packages not found in your configured and enabled repositories. Try that first. Perhaps fwbackups is installed as a package. If not, it may be that you've installed it manually. Then you need to invest some time, track it down, and erase/uninstall it manually again. You may need to look at your crontab files, global ones as well as your user's ones, because the mail you refer to is about a Cron job from Cron Daemon. -- Fedora release 17 (Beefy Miracle) - Linux 3.4.2-4.fc17.x86_64 loadavg: 0.22 0.54 0.51 -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
