The 'XXX is depreciated" messages are not normally errors. They are just to inform you that the script is using a depreciated feature and that unless it is changed (to use a non depreciated mechanism) that it will stop working in a future version. This is aimed primarily at the scripts author/maintainer. For a user it should prompt one of three actions, in order of preference, a) Upgrade to a later version of the script, b) check if this has already been reported as a bug (either upstream or in Gentoo) and if not raise a bug report, c) Ignore it.
