 Hi Eric, thanks much for the feedback.

Yes it did!  Also, the error is not present on another machine (with
Fedora 23) on which I could perform a test, with simply the command
'emacs' and a void .emacs file -- and of course the emacs-goodies
packages installed on that machine:

Org mode version 9.0.8 (9.0.8-elpa @ /root/.emacs.d/elpa/org-20170606/)

GNU Emacs 24.5.1 (x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.18.9) of
2016-04-11 on buildvm-25.phx2.fedoraproject.org

Linux fruc.u-strasbg.fr 4.8.13-100.fc23.x86_64 #1 SMP Fri Dec 9
14:51:40 UTC 2016 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

So in your opinion what is the best to do in order to avoid this error
message, and, above all, the possible consequences related to this
problem? -- so far, I have not noticed any, but who knows...

- get rid of the file /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/gnus-bonus/nnir.el?
- get rid of the dir /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/gnus-bonus/altogether?
- something else?

Because uninstalling the emacs-goodies packages sound rather
extreme...  NB: I uses gnus very rarely.

Regards,
a.
