I just updated my pathauto module and noticed that I get a fatal error when updating content. I checked the module list and I see:

Provides a mechanism for modules to automatically generate aliases for the content they manage.
Depends on: Path (enabled), Token (missing)

The token dependency wasn't there when I installed pathauto but it's needed by the new version. This dependency isn't enforced though. The weird thing is that the pathauto enabled checkbox is checked and disabled.

I downloaded token and now I can't install it because its checkbox is disabled. I had to disable pathauto - checkbox is not disabled anymore, then enable token, then re-enable pathauto. Doesn't look like the best user experience.

This is really a critical issue.

#211182: Updates run in unpredictable order is more or less a duplicate of this issue, but I'm marking this as duplicate as discussion there have taken place to a good extent. To help avoid this in the future, make sure you check the issue against the development (-dev) version, if it still applies then it's much better to assign it to the -dev verison in which developers are actively working with.
