Solved. The bug is caused by a very strange behaviour in TYPO3 6.2.
If you update the News extension and then run database analyse (in the 
install tool), you will get the message that the database is up to date 
(but it is not)!

If you then run the update wizard of the News extension this will 
trigger a bunch of errors because certain db fields are missing!!!
If you then run the database analyse tool again it will find the missing 
database fields.
So it looks like you need to run the script first in order for TYPO3 to 
correctly analyse the db..

Seems to work.

Hopes it helps someone.
