i am wondering what that message:

Code: Select all

PIDFile= references path below legacy directory /var/run/ ...

will mean for the services rpc-statd, smbd, nmbd...
any idea, how to fix it?

It should get fixed by the DebIan maintainers in Bullseye (next version after Buster due in the Autumn of 2021). The message is informational, so feel free to ignore it (unless you want to start hacking service files that are part of the packages you've installed (or were pre-installed)).

so it's nothing to worry about... no malfunctioning service?

I get the same junk messages on my system and nothing bad happens because of them.

Correct. Perturbing the first time you see them, and annoying after that. But no malfunctioning.

thank you.
