No. This is only a warning, and does no harm in this particular case.
It has been fixed for quite a while on -current; I don't remember whether
this was fixed in 1.4.1 already.

Even in this case, a full backup of the system might help you to install
the old status in case something goes wrong. (If you _depend_ on the system
to be up next monday morning 0800..., you need something like this :-)

Depending on how you plan future upgrade policy etc, you might even want 
to wait for 1.4.2, but this will take a couple more weeks. (I didnt manage
to build the -1.4.2_ALPHA test yet for Amiga)
