#25326 [Opn]: When Upgrading PEAR modules, Mail::Mail needed Net_SMTP.

ID: 25326 User updated by: ler at lerctr dot org Reported By: ler at lerctr dot org Status: Open Bug Type: PEAR related Operating System: UnixWare 7.1.3UP2 PHP Version: 4.3.3 New Comment: Given my stuff is already updated, I can't test real easily. I wish I could. LER Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-08-31 01:23:07] cellog@php.net This patch, when used with the CVS version of PEAR (1.3b1) should fix the problem, but as simple as it looks, some serious testing is required. The patch will download and install all required dependencies, or upgrade them if they are already installed. There are some possible side effects from this that result from the increased dependence on downloading. I can't think of anything too serious offhand, but I don't have much experience installing PEAR using the compile --with-pear method. In any case, try out this patch, with the CVS version of PEAR (checkout php-src/pear, and pear upgrade package-PEAR.xml). Let us know if it fixes the problem.

That should fix this issue nicely. Greg ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-08-30 16:16:20] ler at lerctr dot org Description: ------------ When I ran the make install for 4.3.3 of PHP, it tried to upgrade all my Installed PEAR modules (Good!), but it does them in Alphabetical order, which is a problem for Mail::Mail, as Mail::Mail needs the upgraded Net_SMTP, which hadn't been installed yet. On the 2nd make install (compile issues), it worked fine. Can the install script be made smarter to deal with this issue?
