If you do not have this file, that's okay. It's an optional
resource file.

They are just informative warnings that the symbols aren't in the
latest format. For the most part they are harmless, since gEDA/gaf can read
in files all the way back to files written in 1998. If you really want
to get rid of them, either:
1a) Run gsymupdate on each of the symbols
or
1b) Run gschupdate on each of the schematics
-OR-
2) Open up all the symbols/schematics in gschem and select:
File/Save All.
