You can safely ignore these messages, if you are not trying to fix a broader
problem.  Generally speaking, any messages that are at a DEBUG level are
considered to be okay to ignore, unless you're working on tracking down a
specific problem, in which case they may be helpful in determining a
problem; however, they do not, in themselves, indicate any problem.
