kicad IO_ERROR

I was getting some strange IO_ERROR warnings after my KiCad upgrade to 4.0.5.
IO_ERROR: footprint library path '/Library/Application 
Support/kicad/modules/Microwave.pretty'  does not exist from 
/Users/ansible/4.0.5/kicad-mac-packaging-4.0.0/kicad/pcbnew/kicad_plugin.cpp : 
FootprintEnumerate() : line 1786

IO_ERROR: footprint library path '/Library/Application 
Support/kicad/modules/Inductors_NEOSID.pretty' does not exist from
 /Users/ansible/4.0.5/kicad-mac-packaging-4.0.0/kicad/pcbnew/kicad_plugin.cpp : 
FootprintEnumerate() : line 1786
It seems that one of the developers left their path in the code somewhere. A reinstall of KiCAD fixed the issue. I guess I must have gotten the install packages while the error was in the wild as the reinstall was the same version.
