Hi, 

	I am maintaining a private athenized linux workstation
(aladdin.mit.edu). I have autoupdate set to TRUE. It seems that my
system started upgrading to Athena 9.3.11 last night at 1:49 am.
However, it does not seem to have made it out of the updating process.
When I log in, I get the following displayed on the console:

20:33 This system is in the middle of an update.

20:54 Athena Server (linux) Version Update Tue Aug 17 01:49:46 EDT 2004


I rebooted the machine several times and even tried to update it
manually - it tells me that it is still in the process of updating.

I can log into the machine without any problem and given that I can now
run Mozilla 1.7.2, it seems that at least part of the system updated
properly. Any thoughts on how to get it out of the updating process?

Thanks,

	Tom
