It'll probably take a few days for 0.6.0a. Patch for gnunet-convert
is already in cvs, should be working, but gnunet-check might be
unable to fix some individual entries in the db in some
pathological, uncommon cases, but unlike the gnunet-convert
problem, these would be legacy problems that haven't had
any major impact in the past. Existency of these problems
can be measured by running gnunet-convert twice. If there's
still errors on the second run, obviously there were cases
it didn't handle correctly.

Imo, Christian can release 0.6.0a at will.
