I've updated from gallery 5.1 to gallery 5.2, the update went fine, then it gets me to configuration of the module, everything seemed to go fine, until the user sync : i click on the button, not much happens, and it gets me to a firefox error page : redirectloop.
It's even worse than that actually : it seems i can't access ANY of the drupal admin pages :-(
Aaaarg ... anyone has an idea of what the problem is ? How to fix it ?
Is it a problem with how i configured the path to .htaccess (step just before user sync ... but the installer said it's ok) ? If yes how to solve it ?
Thanks a lot in advance for your help.

Well, i guess that as i'm meeting functional bugs i beg for help in the forum but then still spend the night and more on it.
So i'll post the fix i found here, so it may help some other people (and save them some sleep).

It seems that the problem was with the clean URL settings of Drupal.

First i rolled back to the previous version of gallery, but that didn't solve the problem, so i'm not sure you actually need to do that.

Then i typed in the adress bar : mydomain/?q=admin/settings/clean-urls (i couldn't get to any admin page "normaly" )

There i desactivated the clean URL rewrite.

I checked and the website was back and running again : the admin part AND the gallery ... woooohoooo ! :-)

Then i re-activated the clean URL rewrite ...

And it worked ! Everything works fine.

Sorry but the lesson i learn from this (and some other problems) is that i shall NOT update any module on my website unless it's for security reason or it does have a new feature i really really wanted before.

Good luck drupal pals.
