Abstract: Let K be a Lie group and P be a K-principal bundle on a manifold M. Suppose given furthermore a central extension 1 o Z o hat{K} o K o 1 of K. It is a classical question whether there exists a hat{K}-principal bundle hat{P} on M such that hat{P}/Z is isomorphic to P. Neeb defines in this context a crossed module of topological Lie algebras whose cohomology class [omega_{ m top alg}] is an obstruction to the existence of hat{P}. In the present paper, we show that [omega_{ m top alg}] is up to torsion a full obstruction for this problem, and we clarify its relation to crossed modules of Lie algebroids and Lie groupoids, and finally to gerbes.
