Armin.
This is OK. Those functions are deprecated now and probably you will
never use them.

Can I silently ignore those errors (the docs don't say anything how I should handle the "KEEPING..." messages). To me the functions causing errors and KEEPING messages look like they're not included any more in Postgis 1.5 (the KEEPING messages are written out also for custom procedures).
