Hello Martin,

you must click on the Retrieve/Update button from the 'Import
extensions' menu in EM. Otherwise it might still compare with older MD5
hash sums of an older upload of an extension under the same version.
This always produces this error message without any hint how to solve it.
But in your case the MD5 sum seems to be empty.

At the moment I end up in this error message:

Error: The extension MD5 sum could not be fetched from
http://ter.rz.tu-clausthal.de/ter/extensions.md5. Possible reasons:
network problems, allow_url_fopen is off, curl is not enabled in Install
tool.

After some minutes this is working now again.
