Remote device Cleric Repeater has advertised your public key. This may indicate a low-entropy key. You may need to regenerate your public keys.

What should I do?

That can also happen if you change the name of your device. It will still be advertising a key that other radios recognize from earlier, but with the wrong name.

But you should definitely update your firmware, as meh suggested. All versions from 2.6.11 on can recognize and warn you about potentially compromised keys.
