[Oisf-users] Suricata-update 1.0.0 messages

I get the following warnings from suricata-update:

I first disabled the sslbl source and then removed it but I still get these messages?  

I am puzzled about the "distribution rule directory” what is it?    I am guessing that it is related to the fact that I use file:// to load by ET rules.
