#24947 [NEW]: PEAR 1.2b4 Fails to detect package.xml when installing

From: davey@php.net Operating system: WinXP SP1 PHP version: 4CVS-2003-08-05 (stable) PHP Bug Type: PEAR related Bug description: PEAR 1.2b4 Fails to detect package.xml when installing Description: ------------ After upgrading to PEAR 1.2b4 it is not possible to install any new packages. The error is as follows: C:\pear>pear install PEAR_Info downloading PEAR_Info-1.0.6.tgz ... ...done: 6,334 bytes warning : you are using an archive with an old format no package.xml file after extracting the archive I have verified that the error is not with Archive_Tar 1.1 as without PEAR 1.2b4 both Archive_Tar 1.0 and 1.1 work fine. I tested on a brand new install of PEAR and with an older 4.3.3 snapshot and the latest one 200308050430 aswell as PHP 4.3.2 One more thing to note, is this happened when upgrading PEAR: C:\pear>pear upgrade PEAR downloading PEAR-1.2b4.tgz ... ...done: 83,170 bytes upgrade ok: PEAR 1.2b4 '9' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. I saw this before and it hasn't happened lately, so I think its a bug that was fixed and has now resurfaced. - Davey Reproduce code: --------------- pear upgrade PEAR pear install <any package> Expected result: ---------------- C:\pear>pear install PEAR_Info downloading PEAR_Info-1.0.6.tgz ... ...done: 6,334 bytes install ok: PEAR_Info 1.0.6 Actual result: -------------- C:\pear>pear install PEAR_Info downloading PEAR_Info-1.0.6.tgz ... ...done: 6,334 bytes warning : you are using an archive with an old format no package.xml file after extracting the archive -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=24947&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (php4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24947&r=trysnapshot4 Try a CVS snapshot (php5): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24947&r=trysnapshot5 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24947&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24947&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24947&r=needtrace Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24947&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24947&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24947&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24947&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24947&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24947&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24947&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24947&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24947&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24947&r=gnused
