Support for Drupal 7 is ending on 5 January 2025—it’s time to migrate to Drupal 10! Learn about the many benefits of Drupal 10 and find migration tools in our resource center.The documentation for the Media module states:
File Entity (separate module for Media 7.x-2.x only, included in Media 7.x-1.x)
And on the File Entity page:
The File entity project is not compatible with Media 7.x-1.x. You must use the File entity module bundled with Media 7.x-1.x.
Where as the media.info has the File Entity as a dependency:
dependencies[] = file_entity

steinmb CreditAttribution: steinmb commentedHi
I think the documentation is correct though the info file should make sure people do not download/us the stand alone major version of file_entity. This small change to the info file should take care of that.

Devin Carlson CreditAttribution: Devin Carlson commentedWe've had issues with adding versioned dependencies to Media and File entity in the past, see issues like #1304490: Requires: File entity (2.x) (incompatible with version 7.x-2.x-dev), but no other 2.x version of File Entity available and #1332842: Fix file entity versioned dependency.
The problem is that versioned dependencies don't work with -dev versions or git clones (they always fail, make it impossible to install/update the module) See #1013302: Versioned dependencies fail with dev versions and git clones. There's also an issue with making comparisons to major version numbers #1247476: ModuleHandler::parseDependency fails on major version ops (>27.x) and (<=28.x).
Marking this as postponed until the versioned dependency issues are fixed.
