What is the proper fix to these issues? Having fixed some myself and
ajax having looked at a bunch of them I don't think it's as simple as
just mass rebuilding the packages.

If it is as simple as a mass rebuild please co-ordinate this with
rel-eng [1] so it can be completed as part of any F-24 mass rebuild
that's needed to minimise  the churn.
