There used to be a similar problem with package version comparisons, nowadays it uses version_compare() which has its own quirks if one is not too familiar with its logic. For example: echo (int) version_compare("5.0.0b2-dev", "5.0.0", "ge")."\n"; echo (int) version_compare("5.0.0b2-dev", "5.0.0")."\n"; prints: 0 -1 Which is consistent w/ dev/alpha/beta releases being less 'mature' than stable releases (5.0.0 is considered stable in this case). Perhaps you may want to change your package.xml to require '5.0.0-dev' instead. The code that does the comparison is the method 'checkPHP()' in PEAR/Dependency.php HTH. ===== -- Jesus M.
