5.x-1.2 seems to be incompatible with cck 5.x-1.6-1

right after the basic setup steps, on a fresh drupal test site, i enabled only the cck and cck_taxonomy modules: saving configurations enabled the dependencies

when trying to edit the story content type by adding a new field, i get this message

No field modules are enabled. You need to enable one, such as text.module, before you can add new fields.

when i enable any other field, then the field type form displays "CCK taxonomy" field name but does not offer any widget selection
