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.

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...). -- David
