Problems with packaging and/or exporting to PDF

A couple of weeks ago I started getting warning dialogwhenever I would either Export a PDF  or when I package my project.

 

When I package I get this: 1 problem was found with a background task: > Export "Lark_Winter 2020..." (1)

 

When I use File > Export for a PDF I get this warning:

InDesign has packaged the document "Lark_Winter 2020..." , but the PDF generation resulted in one or more warnings. Try exporting the file using File > Export menu option to view warnings.

 

Does anyone know what this is about and how to get rid of it?

To fix it you need to deal with the warnings. Please tell us what they say?

First, for Derek: Mac Mojave 10.14.6, InDesign 2020

 

I had to search how to access the Background Tasks Panel!

It says "Version 4 ICC Profile were converted to Version 2 ICC Profiles during export"

That's a rightful warning, but unless you're very keen on specific color management tasks, you don't need to bother too much about this one. If you want to get rid of it, define a new Preflight profile not to report any errors about color profiles. However, now that I think of it, these profiles only report errors before and upon exporting and packaging – not afterwards. Oh well, you can just ignore them...
