Hi,
I tried to installa Managing News with Prefix Tables in Drupal Installation like this : news_

So, when Installation progress arrives to Managing News Installation I get these errors:

Maybe, it is a bug about name table.

Hi,
this problem there is also in MN 1.2 release.

It's not good Idea to add a table prefix when you installa MN. Somwthing what's wrong.

This specific issue does still exist in MN 1.2 but it stems from a reported bug in ctools. See http://drupal.org/node/872804

There is a patch and it appears that it was fixed in ctools 6.x.1.8

I came here because I was seeing table prefix based issues bubbling up elsewhere in MN. Not sure if this one issue is the cause of all prefix related issues, but I think that there are other cases still lurking.
