Heh, well do you happen to know when the yum auto update runs? You are
aware of the impact that FL's documentation has if you simply follow
step 4 and make no other changes? It is FL's documentation after all so
you should know that those using the yum auto update would update Friday
MORNING at 4am or so (assuming that cron.daily is running per stock
settings).

As for changing your schedule ... what schedule?! Lol!

Look, all I wanted to do was point out a particular situation. If the
powers that be (i.e. you?) feel it's of no concern than so be it. Life
goes on, we find work arounds, and things proceed in a (somewhat)
orderly fasion. I hope that those "powers" take note but if not then oh
well, at least I did my part and spoke up and no one can say "why did
that update fail on Christmas!" We all know now that it's possible that
an FL update will appear on Christmas Eve and should plan and program
accordingly. :)

I'll see what I can do. Not sure if I have an account there but if not
I'll make one when I get a few minutes free. Honestly though I think
othes would be better versed in the actual bug. I didn't know what
caused it till I read it here.

Peace.
