closedEM fails checking dependencies and does a forbidden update of an required extension
0%
Description
Same behaviour on two different installations on two different servers.
One is 6.2.17, the other already 6.2.18. Both running with php 5.5.
Detailed explanation:
Install vidi 1.3.1, this is the latest extension version running with TYPO3 6.2. Installed, and it works.
Then install media. Version 3.7.2 is the latest version running with TYPO3 6.2. Installed, and it is broken as it doesn't work. But it's not media, it's vidi. as vidi is now version 2.0.1 - what???
Vidi 2.0.1 requires TYPO3 7.6.0-7.6.99. That's well defined in ext_emconf.php as it uses new API methods.
This means: when installing media, the newest version ov vidi is donwloaded and installed instead of the latest one which has compatibility settings for TYPO3 6.2.
Workaround:
The only way I've found to get vide/media running with 6.2 is to download and active vidi (1.3.1), then download media (3.7.2) as zip file and manually set it to "active" in PackageStates.php. I know, very ugly and dirty, but there seems to be no other solution.
