I'm running a RHEL 4.2 system and I'm having a strange problem with pear. It was originally installed on the system when it was RHEL 4.1. PEAR was updated to meet a couple of web application (FogBugz - a bug tracker) requirements. The system has been subsequently updated to 4.2 and now "pear list" fails with the error: PHP Fatal error: Cannot instantiate non-existent class: pear_command_registry-init in /usr/share/pear/PEAR/Command.php on line 271 The same error is returned when you try a "pear update". pear was working before FogBugz was installed, but I can't prove that it was still working after the PEAR update or after fog bugz installation. But it seems like the registry is /usr/share/pear/.registry is some how corrupted. Has anyone seen this problem before? If so, how did you fix it?

First of all, this is due to criminally shoddy re-packaging of PEAR by Redhat. Not sure about what is "criminal" ...

However this was already reported (and annoted) by RedHat and Debian: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=156675 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=334969 Cheers, toggg

Please report this bug to them, as you are probably the 30th user to report this problem. Now, to fix it, rm /usr/share/pear/PEAR/Command/*-init.php. Then, you'll want to upgrade PEAR - all versions prior to 1.4.2 have a security hole. Greg
