Update 198 modified my /etc/fcron.allow file. I had two users in that file (root and fcronuser), but after the update only root remained. The same result on two machines.
I am mentioning this for informational purposes only, in case it helps anyone.

YES - fcronuser has disappeared 
Yes. fcron.allow is listed in the rootfile for the frcon package and so it was overwritten.
I will discuss this with the other developers to see if it makes sense to overwrite it or not. frcon is not updated very often at all.
No it hasn’t, at least not on my system. I checked in /etc/passwd and the fcronuser is still there, and also the frconuser sudoers file I created is also still present and the fcronuser fcrontab file.
The only thing that needed to be updated for me was to add back in the fcronuser into the fcron.allow file.
All my fcrontab operations are still running as planned.
Check if it works for you again after adding the fcronuser into the /etc/fcron.allow file.

Yes, the user fcronuser still exists. I just had to add it back to the file.
Best regards.
