Getting strange messages during an update.

What do these mean and how can they be fixed?
Been there for a while, not to worry, not something you can "fix".
It tells the packager to stop using files in legacy /var/run/... and instead use
/run/....
The specific complain here says that the file
/usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/kdm.conf
says
d /var/run/kdm/ 0711 root root -
d /var/run/xdmctl 0711 root root -
but should be
d /run/kdm/ 0711 root root -
d /run/xdmctl 0711 root root -
but you should not change it, wait for the package to be corrected in an update.
