What did you upgrade from?  I doubt that the problem has to do with the
upgrade itself, but rather probably with the way that you upgraded or your
missing the spool dir change (hint).
Note that /var/spool/fax has become /var/spool/hylafax

Yes, for some reason faxadduser is running in the background, which is why
it does that "[1] 975" and "[1]+ Done" stuff.  I couldn't tell you why it's
doing that on your system.

Manually take a look at the contents of /var/spool/hylafax/etc/hosts.hfaxd
and tell us what you see.
