WARNING -- WSOD [#217026]

WARNING -- WARNING -- WARNING -- WARNING -- WARNING

Updates are being made now that will be uploaded soon. Those updates will require that the 5.x version have the Helpers_database module (part of the Helpers package). Without that module being installed, you will get the dreaded "White Screen of Death" (WSOD) as soon as you install the updates. Please download and install at least the Helpers_database module from that package now.

It won't be too long before the 6.x version will need it too, but that is waiting for the 6.x version of Helpers.

If it happens to you, you can use something like phpMyAdmin to go into the 'system' table and set the status for Faq_Ask to 0.

Just wondering why faq_ask doesn't force the installation of helpers as a dependency?

It does, but since you already have Faq_Ask, you can update it without having Helpers in place. Even I did it, that's how I knew to post this warning. I'm wondering if I can add a hook_update_N to fail an update.
