Hi,

Sorry about the slow reply, timezones are a pain.

Ok the variable is called ceilingDueDate

So

DELETE FROM systempreferences WHERE variable ='ceilingDueDate';

Will kill that line completely.

There is also globalDueDate

DELETE FROM systempreferences WHERE variable ='globalDueDate';

To get rid of it

However if you wanted to file a bug also, because there must be code
still referencing the old dead syspref, that we need to purge.

So bonus points if you go to bugs.koha-community.org and add a bug
something like "Vestiges of code still refer to deprecated syspref
globalDueDate"

Its in C4/Circulation.pm that the bad code is so you could at that,
and then someone can write a patch to clean it up, extra super mega
bonus points if you write the patch too :)
