NetcodeForGameObjects compilation error

Question

When I fire up a new project in Unity 2021.2.8f1 and just import the Netcode for GameObjects package by name as mentioned on the Unity websites I constantly get the following two warnings in the console:

Script 'Packages/com.unity.collections/DocCodeSamples.Tests/CollectionsAllocationExamples.cs' will not be compiled because it exists outside the Assets folder and does not to belong to any assembly definition file. UnityEditor.Scripting.ScriptCompilation.EditorCompilationInterface:CompileScripts (UnityEditor.Scripting.ScriptCompilation.EditorScriptCompilationOptions,UnityEditor.BuildTargetGroup,UnityEditor.BuildTarget,int,string[])

Script 'Packages/com.unity.collections/DocCodeSamples.Tests/CollectionsExamples.cs' will not be compiled because it exists outside the Assets folder and does not to belong to any assembly definition file. UnityEditor.Scripting.ScriptCompilation.EditorCompilationInterface:CompileScripts (UnityEditor.Scripting.ScriptCompilation.EditorScriptCompilationOptions,UnityEditor.BuildTargetGroup,UnityEditor.BuildTarget,int,string[])

What exactly does these warnings mean? And how can I fix them to get rid of the messages?

I am looking forward to your help. Thank you!

Reading from the error message it looks like they forgot to upload an assembly definition or put those unit tests in a Editor folder. You can fix this, given there won't be dozens more such errors ofc.

com.unity.collections@... package should be in \PROJECT_NAME\Library\PackageCache

Move this specific package dir to \PROJECT_NAME\Packages\HERE so you can modify it's content. Now, just delete this /com.unity.collections.../DocCodeSamples.Tests directory, tests are optional. (or create assembly definition if you want to run those unit test).
