Reboot will do take care of that.

Are these changes made on a reboot? Such messages are not seen if
dnfdragora is used. They can be swept away in a long update if not
beeing actively watched. How are they supposed to be handled?
In my/most? case(s) you can ignore that:
cd /var/
ls -la |grep run
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 11 Aug 10 2013 lock ->
../run/lock
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 6 Aug 10 2013 run -> ../run
So you see that /var/run is just a symlink to /run and thus you don't need to worry if
the config file has the legacy "/var/run" in it.
