I encountered exactly those same errors on my Koha 3.6.1. It seems the errors only appear when you upgrade the db from a previous version (3.2, in my case) of Koha to 3.6.
I also got these errors when Koha is updating the database through the web installer: -- [Fri Dec 09 04:52:16 2011] updatedatabase.pl: DBD::mysql::db do failed: Duplicate column name 'privacy' at /home/koha/kohaclone/installer/data/mysql/updatedatabase.pl line 3997. [Fri Dec 09 04:52:16 2011] updatedatabase.pl: DBD::mysql::db do failed: Duplicate column name 'privacy' at /home/koha/kohaclone/installer/data/mysql/updatedatabase.pl line 3998. [Fri Dec 09 04:52:18 2011] updatedatabase.pl: DBD::mysql::db do failed: Table 'need_merge_authorities' already exists at /home/koha/kohaclone/installer/data/mysql/updatedatabase.pl line 4535. -- Chris C.(Koha's developer) said they are safe to ignore, though.( http://koha.1045719.n5.nabble.com/3-4-4-gt-3-6-1-upgrade-td5068580.html) And Kyle Hall(Koha Virtual Appliance's creator) has these to say about them: "I think it's probably safe to ignore those errors. The script is attempting to create fields that are already in the tables, so I doubt you will see any problems."
