When I edit system files, for example when I edit rules for my trackpoint using this command:

gksu gedit /etc/udev/rules.d/trackpoint.rules

I get the following errors in the terminal (after closing gedit and saving the file):

error: line 10034: 0 is wrong flag id
error: line 10034: 0 is wrong flag id
error: line 11351: 0 is wrong flag id

error: line 28718: 0 is wrong flag id
error: line 31695: 0 is wrong flag id
error: line 31695: 0 is wrong flag id
error: line 35272: 0 is wrong flag id

This goes on up until line 150400.

The changes are applied as desired, but can somebody explain the error to me as I'm a newbie and just trying to get a clue about the terminal.
