Have you tried the raspberry forum for answers?
What I can think is maybe try to change the version of the eeprom via raspi-config to the STABLE instead of LATEST to see if it can clear the error
Just a warning, that a directory could not be deleted as it is not empty. So just a result of a safety measure.

No, not yet. If I can't get a definitive answer here, I'll give it a try.
Your hint could help. Or I just do a clone from my system SD of my other RPI, and just try to delete the directories manually and see what happens ...
But my hope was that other more experienced RPi users are observing the same warnings and have a safe solution.
These warnings appeared last week first w the latest Linux updates.

These warnings are completely harmless. There is nothing to solve. It just means another package had a file in the directory. It is very common in many packages especially kernel and firmware packages.

Would mean: "Just do nothing - maybe its somehow fixed or just disappearing in future"?
Those warnings, especially if they occur the first time, are making me a little bit nervous because I cannot overview what are possible future implications

It means just do nothing. What needs to be fixed? The package is trying to clean up a directory IF it is empty. It isn't empty so it doesn't need to clean it up. There is no way a package can know if another package puts files in the same directory. This is why the rmdir command is so safe. It will remove the directory if it is empty otherwise it leaves it alone.

Why are you nervous about it? What do you think might happen? Absolute worst case, there is an empty directory on your system. There could be hundreds of empty directories on your system now causing zero problems.
"The Raspberries" say that the dpkg warnings are "harmless"
Harmless?... maybe
Incompetent? ... definitely
