list, the update is described as backwards compatible.

06/02/2012 The EMI release manager requires product teams with
products that have dependencies, to test the update.

20/02/2012 Mail to EMI EMT that update 5.2 is in EPEL.

20/02/2012 Notification the the OMB from operations manager of NGI

The same problem is reported to affect StoRM at QMUL. LIP tests a
fresh installation and can reproduce the problem.

23/02/2012 M. David confirms that the problem is caused by having
autoupdate enabled. The recommended UMD repository configuration is
tested and tests show that guidelines are correct: fresh installations
and updates of the affected products work fine with the UMD repo
properly configured.

23/02/2012 a notification of the problem is sent to the OMB and all
members of inspire-sa1 [*] asking to remind site managers to properly
configure their repositories adhering to the provided
guidelines:http://repository.egi.eu/category/umd_releases/distribution/umd_1/ 

EFFECT OF INCOMPATIBILITY
StoRM and DPM stop working. globus-gridftp-server returns segfault when any client tries to authenticate.

IMPACT OF INCIDENT
Two sites reported this (one to the OMB directly and GGUS, the other site manager was in contact with Mario David). Maybe the DMSU had other tickets and knows more.
