I'm done with all the fixes but when installing I'm getting the following
message:

    Warning: fmtutil is being run as root; fmtutil-sys should probably be
    used instead.  If this is done by a Debian package upon installation,
    upgrade, or removal, please file a bug against that package.

How do we handle this?

Thanks,
Ardo
