2.1 RC1 link/blogroll problem

I just tried to upgrade to the 2.1 RC1 but ended up with a blogroll problem that’s returning an error message:

[Unknown column ‘link_count’ in ‘where clause’]
SELECT * FROM wp_categories WHERE cat_ID > 0 AND link_count > 0 ORDER BY cat_name ASC

It initially told me that the link2cat table didn’t exist, so I tried to set it up manually. The error message above is the result from that endeavor. Any ideas on how to fix it? I’m guessing that the link associations didn’t transfer to the new table properly. Would some snippet of SQL code do the trick?
