I justed updated all my typo3 "installations" from version 4.0.4 to the new version 4.1.1. After I did that I encountered this error in the frontend:
Google didn't really help me to solve this problem. So after some different attempts I started the database analyzer in the Installation Tool. A click on "Compare with $TCA" showed some errors in the Extension Static Info Library (sr_static_info). I then opened this extension in the Extension Manager and already got a message that some tables need to be updated (which wasn't really obvious from the initial error message ...). After confirming this everything was fine again. Hope this may help others having the same problem :-)
