Yes, it does no harm and you can ignore it.

If you want to fix your local copy of the script here's how:
When you're doing all this as root you can leave out 'sudo' in the
following commands. Assuming an RHEL/CentOS install, otherwise 'cd' to
where metagen.sh resides:

$ cd /etc/shibboleth
$ sudo wget -O SSPCPP-501.patch 'http://svn.shibboleth.net/view/cpp-sp/branches/REL_2/configs/metagen.sh?view=patch&r1=3843&r2=3842&pathrev=3843'
$ sudo patch -p3 < SSPCPP-501.patch
