That should never be necessary.

Well obviously, it WAS necessary in order to get rid of an objectionable and annoying message, which was otherwise impossible to get rid of.

Wow! So running as root causes error messages? Pull the other leg, it has bells on it!

And why? Because this was immediately after a clean install to a brand new drive, while I was still running upgrades and transferring files from backup. Much easier to do that as root, so that is what I do. If you want to type sudo a hundred times, go right ahead.

Running as root is not a disaster. Get over it.
