samba - Mar 2023 - Error message dns

Thanks Rowland!
I don't have the expertice to wrap it in a 'try'. Should I just
ignore these errors in the logs?
And am I the only one who gets these errors?
I found this https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=871655
They found a solution. But I don't get what the exactly did

Philip

This is happening because every 10 minutes the samba_dnsupdate script is
being run, which uses a file called dns_update_list to try and add a
list of records, these records need to exist. However, you are getting
an error that isn't an error, how can trying to add something that must
exist be an error because it already exists ?

I 'think' the update command needs to be wrapped in a 'try' that
fails
silently if the error is that the record already exists.

You can ignore them, as I said, how can not being able to add a dns 
record because it already exists be an error ?

No, I at least can easily get these messages

No, I don't fully understand (from a quick skim) what they did and there 
is at least one misunderstanding in there.

I am trying to track down just where that error message is coming from, 
it doesn't seem to be directly from samba_dnsupdate.
