[TYPO3-english] Uncaught exception in Extension Manager

Hi all,

I found the culprit.

In my installation's current state_info_tables can be updated from 6.1.0 
to 6.1.2. It is thus added to the EM's list of updatable extension.

sr_language_menu is also updatable, from 6.0.5 to 6.0.6. But 
sr_language_menu has a dependency on static_info_tables (which it didn't 
have before). And its requirement is static_info_tables 6.0.4 to 
6.0.99). The EM resolves that requirement by deciding to fetch the 
latest fitting version of state_info_tables, i.e. 6.0.10. Since it is 
already trying to fetch 6.1.2, it generates the previously mentioned 
exception.

If that exception were caught, the EM would still be usable... It is 
obviously impossible to catch each and every exception, but I think that 
things like BE modules should have a generic try/catch block early in 
their structure and channel exceptions to flash messages.

Cheers
