The following bug has been logged on the website:

Bug reference: 9045

PostgreSQL version: 9.2.4
Operating system: FreeBSD 9.2
Description:

When running osm2pgsql to populate a database with postgis data, if the
tables do not exist a misleading error msg is put out, causing the user to
believe some important part of the operation has failed.

The message says

"NOTICE: Table [name] does not exist, skipping"

What it should say, if it says anything, is something on the order of

"NOTICE: DROP TABLE [name] not needed: table does not exist"

followed by a "NOTICE: CREATE TABLE [name] succeeded" after the create

because what's being skipped is the (non)existing table's deletion, not
processing as the message implied.
