Unable to update DB from 3.0.X to 3.1.X because of post_visibility

Trying to update a 3.0 db to 3.1 failed, because the function delete_posts() is called upon, which has "post_visibility" in its SQL query, although that field does not exist in 3.0 databases.

General Error
SQL ERROR [ mysqli ]

Unknown column 'post_visibility' in 'field list' [1054]

SQL

SELECT post_id, poster_id, post_visibility, post_postcount, topic_id, forum_id FROM phpbb_posts WHERE poster_id = 116837
