Getting strange messages during an update.
/usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/kdm.conf:1: Line references path below legacy directory /var/run/, updating /var/run/kdm/ → /run/kdm/; please update the tmpfiles.d/ drop-in file accordingly. /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/kdm.conf:2: Line references path below legacy directory /var/run/, updating /var/run/xdmctl → /run/xdmctl; please update the tmpfiles.d/ drop-in file accordingly.
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.

But since kdm is basically dead, it will probably never be updated :-(.
I switched to sddm.
I'd also suggest "dnf erase kdm".
