Warning message when uninstalling the Wazuh indexer

[Benjaminnworah]

Hello,

I observed that the uninstallation of the Wazuh Indexer produces warning messages as shown below during the testing for Release 4.9.0 - Alpha 3 - E2E UX tests - Wazuh Indexer

  Erasing          : wazuh-indexer-4.9.0-1.x86_64                                                                                                                       1/1

I believe this might be related to:

• Ignoring /run and /var/run from the list of packaged directories #286

But I'm not able to reproduce the issue:
