Thanks! Looks like lots of packages were affected, indeed.

Also WTF is File_Mogile? Does it really have 100K downloads a month or is this creative approach to foreign key constraints? http://pear.php.net/package-**stats.php?pid=843&cid=9<http://pear.php.net/package-stats.php?pid=843&cid=9> I dunno - it's a client for http://danga.com/mogilefs/ ; and obviously
there's a lot of people pushing applications into the cloud; plus someone is running off writing a pecl extension too. It's vaguely conceivable

It just looks fishy that this package has around the same number of downloads as PEAR installer itself. With *zero* bug reports and feature requests throughout its history: http://pear.php.net/bugs/search.php?cmd=display&package_name[]=File_Mogile&status=All Are these legitimate downloads (even if automated somehow) or DB corruption?
