While an error in the calculations has been pointed out and the paper will be withdrawn, this isn't reassuring since a revised version where this still holds is probable.
Where was this discussed or announced? I'm curious what the issue was. It will be very groundbreaking if Eldar and Shor can fix it.
It seems the flaw found was fatal to the whole algorithm rather than a minor error. Unfortunately no details were posted by the cryptographer who found them - only a statement that lattice crypto was still safe:

" Dear all,
Yesterday Lior Eldar and I found a flaw in the algorithm proposed in the arXiv preprint. I do not see how to salvage anything from the algorithm. The security of lattice-based cryptography against quantum attacks therefore remains intact and unchanged.
