[TYPO3-typo3org] Loss of dependencies and constraints in TER

You are right. One should never forget that there is always a second side.
So the problem may indeed be caused by em.

>  * function fetchMetaData($metaType)
>  * function checkDependencies($extKey, $conf, $instExtInfo)
>  * function uploadExtensionToTER($em)

The problem happens definitely on upload. The dependencies are lost in
TER already, but also in ext_emconf.php after upload. So I guess some of
this functions drop out.

I can hunt the bug down to the same function, but called from line 1843 in
showExtDetails.

$list doesn't contain the dependencies under all circumstances. 

It's strange. I can update other informations in ext_emconf.php and the
alterations appear in $list. Only dependencies stay empty until  ... until
what event exactly ???
