Keeping my Fedora system updated is easy enough with yum, but lately I've noticed a couple of similar warnings, like this one above.
The messages warning: user monotone does not exist - using root does leave me a little puzzled, since it's a warning it shouldn't be a problem but since a user account is missing will it run correctly, does it use another account, is it just a bad RPM build/configuration or the worst possiblity something/someone has silently messed up my system!.
I've search for an answer on the web, but didn't really find one. Most posts were related to people trying to run src.rpm's or specific packages (where I think the problem is a bit more general). Anyway I've removed Monotone since I don't need it (I didn't even know that it existed). Leaving me with the ol' question of how to keep my system at the minimal without using endless time using yum and understanding what the different packages do , being just an average Fedora user I'm relaying primarily on default configurations
