I get this strange error with something about "geometry"…

This template requires the "geometry" package to be at v5.0 (dated 2010/02/12) or later! Please check the version of your geometry package before reporting errors. The best way to overcome this problem is to update your LaTeX installation to the most recent version.

The spacing between items in my glossary is not uniform! (*)

Solution from here.
Please add \renewcommand{\glsgroupskip}{} before \begin{document}.

(*) Thanks to Luís Silva for the hint!

How do I remove that black square/rectangle at the end of some lines/paragraphs/figures/etc…?

The objective of that square is to inform you that that line is slightly longer than it should (sometimes is is just a couple of points, hardly detectable by eyesight). The square will not be shown if you switch the "documentclass option" option from draft to final.

I've got this other error that I do not know how to solve! Where can I get some help?
