The conky thing isn't a bug. It's looks like there have been a few changes to the syntax for the conky config files.
So your config file is out of date and needs updating, to work with the latest version of conky.
This kind of thing happens from time to time.
If you're using a stock theme - and you're lucky - then it might be possible to download a newer version of it and install it over the top of the existing one.
But if you're using a customised config, or one you created yourself - you will need to look up the changes that have been made to conkys config-file syntax and try to manually update your configs.
