Running todays dnf update I saw:
usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/sddm.conf:6: Line references path below legacy directory /var/run/, updating /var/run/sddm → /run/sddm; please update the tmpfiles.d/ drop-in file accordingly.
Any ideas what this is about?
Hi Neal,
Historically, "/run" was beneath "/var" but has been promoted to its own root level space. At least so far programs still using the historical location continue to run but are advised to change the caller to use /run instead. It's less a warning than an advisement.
It's easy to change the location if it's referred to in something like a systemd .service file because they are text. If it's hard coded it has to be changed by the maintainer or developer.
I had seen same message on a machine, and made change to file a number of times, but then did dnf reinstall sddm to see if it would fix the messages, but then checked file again, and it was back to /var/run.
