I'm not the OP, but I was wondering what that is myself. I don't recall
asking for this repo and I do NOT have a Dell PC. :-) After checking
/etc/yum.repos.d, I see that I do not have this repo installed as best I
can tell.
Any more ideas?
Well, as the OP, I have something like half an idea. One (only
one) of the four F11 PCs at my desk, a hand-me-down, was a Dell server
before I got it.
It makes some sort of sense that that machine should have such a
plugin; but is there any way it could have contaminated any others??

I have precious (very precious!) little idea where up is.
