Hi,
I got the message below when I ran sudo DNF Upgrade. Why are these
messages appearing when I ran "sudo symlinks -r -d /" a couple of days
ago? After getting the messages I ran "sudo symlinks -r / | grep -i
dangling" again and it reported dangling symlinks in the ".build-id"
folder again, what I didn't check was whether or not those dangling
symlinks were what was shown in the DNF messages. The messages I've
shown below are similar messages to what I got, not the actual messages,
as I made a mistake and issued another command in the Konsole tab the
messages were in, which caused Konsole to remove the messages from its
display history. I think the package being cleanup up which produced the
messages was binutils, but I can't be sure.
That's why it's appearing. Because you ran that command and removed
files that were controlled by an rpm package.

The other question I have on this is are the DNF messages "real"
messages or are they like the failure messages when attempting to update
properties in KDE Destop icons that a links to locations owned by root,
in that the DNF cleanup process attempted to delete the file/folder the
symlink was pointing to which failed and it reported the failure against
the symlink not again what it was actually trying to delete?
Yes, those are real. You deleted a file that it was expecting to be
there. That symlink cleanup idea is not a good one. I've checked my
system that has been upgraded for multiple versions and there are no
dangling symlinks that should be removed. I described that finding in
an earlier thread on this topic.
