Depending on which sources you use, I have found many broken packages. Also, in the above example, you need to specify *which* php-pear to get, i.e. php5-pear or php4-pear. If I were you, I would install pear manually: 1. Open a terminal 2. su 3. enter password ******* 4. mkdir /usr/share/pear 5. apt-get install lynx 6. lynx -source http://go-pear.org/ | php --Paul
