Description of my issue:
I've updated 9 sites earlier today to Joomla 2.5.12 after receiving the update notification emails from Admin Tools. Later today I started to get new notification e-mails to update to 2.5.11 and this is why I came back here to akeebabackup.com and then I saw your warning:
https://www.akeebabackup.com/home/news/55-general/1525-joompa-2512-312-updates.html

I did not run into any errors or other issues with any of my updates. They are made on 9 sites on 4 different hosts. The only problem that is obvious from my end is the update emails I'm now receiving telling me to update to 2.5.11. Also on one of the sites I updated from v 3.1.1 to 3.1.2 and I'm also getting the same email notification to update to 3.1.1 from that one as well now.

So, what should I do? I do have backups of the sites but I really hope I don't have to restore all of them since I'm having a huge workload at the moment and some of the sites are really complicated to restore due to huge files and complicated (stupid) hosts without cpanels and other issues that require I have the host's staff with me on SKYPE when I do the restore.

Please, tell me there is another solution... For example, could I install the Joomla updates manually on top of these ones when they will be released officially from Joomla? Then I could just disable the email notifications while waiting for them to be released... What do you think about this Nicholas?

Dear Nicholas,
I don't think you understand what kind of trust I have in you :-) If you told me to cross a street blind folded I'd probably do it without hesitation too! So I downgraded all 9 sites to be on the safer side...

I've just finished updating (downgrading) by installing via Joomla Extension Manager to v 2.5.11 and 3.1.1 with the stable update packages. I think all went well. The only thing that looks slightly suspicious to me now is when I checked one of the sites in
Extension Manager > Check database:
It says --------------------------------------
Database table structure is up to date.
Other Information
Database schema version (in #__schemas): 2.5.12.
Update version (in #__extensions): 2.5.11.
Database driver: mysqli.
66 database changes were checked successfully.
33 database changes did not alter table structure and were skipped.
--------------------------------------
Is it OK do you think?

Greetings
Anna

Thank you ever so much Nicholas :-)
