[rt-users] 4.0.0: Errors/warnings upgrading database from 3.8.7

[Alex Peters]

Got a couple Perl warnings and errors while attempting to
upgrade a copy of my RT 3.8.7 schema to 4.0.0.

Ran rt-setup-database in this manner:

$INSTDIR/sbin/rt-setup-database --action upgrade --datadir 
$TARBALL/etc/upgrade/

Got these errors in order of perceived severity:

1.  RTFM-related errors

     [Sun Jun 12 01:18:40 2011] [error]: You appear to be
         upgrading from RTFM 2.0 - We don't support upgrading
         this old of an RTFM yet ($TARBALL/etc/upgrade//3.9.8/
         content:12)
     [Sun Jun 12 01:18:40 2011] [error]: We found RTFM tables in
         your database.  Checking for content. ($TARBALL/etc/
         upgrade//3.9.8/content:15)
     [Sun Jun 12 01:18:40 2011] [warning]: DBD::mysql::db
         selectall_arrayref failed: Table '$DBNAME.FM_Articles'
         doesn't exist at $TARBALL/etc/upgrade//3.9.8/content
         line 17. ($TARBALL/etc/upgrade//3.9.8/content:17)

     These concern me because I've never even had an RTFM
     installation to my knowledge.  Do these indicate a problem
     with my converted 4.0.0 schema?

2.  Other, no-op-looking errors

     Use of qw(...) as parentheses is deprecated at $INSTDIR/
         sbin/../lib/RT/Articles.pm line 586.

     [Sun Jun 12 01:18:06 2011] [warning]: Couldn't set
         SortOrder: That is already the current value ($TARBALL/
         etc/upgrade//3.8.8/content:32)
     [Sun Jun 12 01:18:16 2011] [warning]: Use of uninitialized
         value in string eq at $INSTDIR/sbin/../lib/RT/
         Template.pm line 627, <> line 1. ($INSTDIR/sbin/../lib/
         RT/Template.pm:627)

     I assume that these are all rather harmless.  Running Perl
     5.14.0 if that's of any value.

Complete rt-setup-database dialogue attached, with paths/
database connection details edited for clarity.
