We study the Dirac equation on an M5 brane wrapped on a divisor in aCalabi--Yau fourfold in the presence of background flux. We reduce thecomputation of the normal bundle U(1) anomaly to counting the solutions of afinite--dimensional linear system on cohomology. This system depends on thechoice of flux. In an example, we find that the presence of flux changes theanomaly and allows instanton corrections to the superpotential which wouldotherwise be absent.Comment: 14 pages. v2: reference added, typos corrected, few change
