   Greetings all,

   I've upgraded a WordPress install from a very old version (I think it was 2.5 or even older--circa 2007) to 2.8.4. The upgrade proceeded but the error below was reported. Can someone please let me know if this is a problem?

   Thanks

   linkcategories hasn't existed for quite some time. I don't remember which version was the last to have that table. You are dealing with a very old WP. If you have backups then re-upload all of the old stuff, DB too. Then upgrade incrementally until you get to the current version.
