I get the following Warning on todays update:

[ 27/133] Upgrading audit-0:4.0.5-1.fc4 100% |   4.1 MiB/s | 515.6 KiB |  00m00s

[ 28/133] Upgrading python3-audit-0:4.0 100% |  23.1 MiB/s | 260.5 KiB |  00m00s

Not sure what the significance of this is and what do I need to do with it.

The output from dnf is now harder to read with the line at the bottom of page that changes and thing truncated in the output.. I don’t see any need for the last column
0m00s. In my opinion it could be eliminated! Output would be easier to follow if the bottom of page comments were in line with the transactions as they happen. Once they are done they disappear and serve no purpose… I’m not able to look back and see if they said something important.

Nevertheless, what does this warning mean and do I need to do anything to correct?
Thanks for help

I don’t think it is anything to worry about, but maybe someone who knows what it actually means will chime in.

This is a warning that’s printed by the RPM scriptlets for restarting and / or reloading systemd units. As far as I can tell, they printed warnings are harmless. But I’m not sure why the warnings started to get printed in the first place if they’re actually harmless …

When systemd detects that a loaded unit was changed (e.g. being replaced by an update), it will warn you to instruct systemd to reload the unit irrespective of the file content. It’s mostly harmless in these update cases since the unit is usually the same as before.
