PEAR is completely broken in ubuntu karmic

[David Jean Louis]

Hi all,

could a pear installer wizard have a look at this bug I've reported this
morning:

https://pear.php.net/bugs/bug.php?id=16630

It's rather important to fix it quickly and to communicate with the
ubuntu packagers (maybe it's their fault ?).

I can't reproduce - Like chuck said, 5.2.10 had a faulty PHAR file, so
using the phar file from 5.2.11 or from the pear website should fix
all issues like that.

Indeed, as said in the bug comments it fixes this particular problem but
now I hit the bug recently reported by nils:
http://pear.php.net/bugs/bug.php?id=16606

I believe this will hit every karmic pear user if they don't upgrade to
php 5.2.11 before the release :(

Not much we can do unless they are prepared to replace the phar file
in the distribution.
I can't magically fix their packages :)

Oh, really ?

There's an opened bug here:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/php5/+bug/420639

Maybe someone that know better than me what should be done (eg. what
phar should be shipped instead) should drop a comment ?

Actually, the problem must be elsewhere...

The phar in the karmic distribution (http://is.gd/3yCbS) is strictly
identic to the one *we* provide
(http://pear.php.net/install-pear-nozlib.phar).

So (regardless of ubuntu karmic), with PHP 5.2.10:
$ php http://pear.php.net/install-pear-nozlib.phar

results in a broken pear installation:
- channels files are broken
- after fixing manually channels files, bug 16606 appears:
   http://pear.php.net/install-pear-nozlib.phar

(Note: i don't want to harass anybody here, just trying to understand
what's the problem exactly is...).

Hey David,

if you got some time to spare, you could ping "zul" on #ubuntu-server
(freenode). I talked to him yesterday and he said he wanted to fix the
bugs this week. Maybe you can offer help/assistance.

Hey Till, sure, that's what I'd like to do, but first I need to have
pointers on how to fix the issues, because telling them to upgrade the
phar is not going to help them since it's already up-to-date.

Heads up,

The PEAR issues with Karmic are now fixed.  You can see the details on these
bugs:

   - PEAR #16606 -- http://pear.php.net/bugs/bug.php?id=16606
   - Ubuntu #451227 --
   https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/php5/+bug/451277
   - Ubuntu #451314 --
   https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/php5/+bug/451314

Much thanks to till, izi, and bbieber for their testing work on this, as
well as to zul at ubuntu for ultimately fixing the issues in the karmic
package.
