Thanks IOhannes for your explanations. So, I will leave with both paths thus this warning.
By the way my Pd 0.54-1 is not a one complied by my self, it could be by you which is a great thing for always getting the latest version of Pd thru this PPA on launchpad.net:
- Name: puredata / Version: 0.54.1+ds-2~ubuntu22.04~ppa1 :-)
As you know very well, currently Linux Mint 21.3 / Ubuntu 22.04.4 LTS only propose the old puredata_0.52.1+ds0-1_all.deb package.
Best, Joseph

ah, you are using a self-compiled Pd, rather than the one that comes with Debian/Ubuntu/your distro.
in this case: yes, you have to live with this warning. (the Pd from Debian does not have this warning, and it automatically searches the two paths).
or maybe, you could create a ticket (https://bugs.puredata.info) about this warning (the "problem" is that if you have two search paths that end with the same word (e.g. "/path/to/libraries" and "/path/to/more/libraries") then the help browser wrongly complains.
the idea why it complains in the first place is that if you have libraries with the same name and the same objects in multiple places (e.g. "/path/to/libraries/zexy/rad2deg.pd" and "/path/to/more/libraries/zexy/rad2deg.pd") you might get confused which [rad2deg] you are actually using.
