Joomla! version: 2.5.2 - update to 2.5.3
PHP version: 5.2.13
MySQL version: 5.1.60-log
Host: df.eu
Admin Tools version: 2.2.1

Description of my issue:
I just updated my joomla 2.5.2 to 2.5.3 using admintools.
While update I received the following (database) error:

JInstaller: :Install: SQL-Fehler DB-Funktion mit Fehlercode 1060 fehlgeschlagen!
Duplicate column name 'ordering' SQL=ALTER TABLE `j17_languages` ADD COLUMN `ordering` int(11) NOT NULL default 0 AFTER `published`;
SQL =

ALTER TABLE `#__languages` ADD COLUMN `ordering` int(11) NOT NULL default 0 AFTER `published`;

SQL =

ALTER TABLE `#__languages` ADD COLUMN `ordering` int(11) NOT NULL default 0 AFTER `published`;

My system information shows that joomla is now running 2.5.3 but I'd like to know if I have to do some further steps because of this error message. thanks a lot!

For an upgrade from 2.5.2 to 2.5.3 (and only in that case) you can mostly ignore this error. However, in order to make sure it won't be repeated in the future, go to Admin Tools, click on "Joomla! up to date" and click on "Reinstall 2.5.3". When the process completes, you should normally get no error messages.
