After updating Qgis to 1.6.0-3 from 1.6.0-2 using OSGeo4W advanced installer (and some new libs were offered), Postgis Manager plugin stopped working:

*Couldn't load plugin postgis_manager due an error when calling its initGui() method*

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:/OSGeo4W/apps/qgis/./python\\qgis\\utils.py", line 147, in startPlugin

QGIS version:

I also get this error when trying to install this plugin after removing it.
Just checked with 1.6.0-4 version - problem remains.

[[PostGIS]] manager tries to add an entry to the database menu available in trunk and if that fails add it database menu. Unfortunately it only catches [[AttributeError]] exceptions, but no [[TypeError]] exceptions to do that. The change of exceptions is probably due to the sip or [[PyQt]]4 update in OSGeo4W.

But plugins not in core are out of scope for this TRAC. The plugin needs to be updated by it's author Martin Dobias

This issue should be fixed in v0.5.14.
