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.
