Bug Description

Binary package hint: php-pear

Greetings...

When trying to install PECL packages via pecl, I get the following error:

# pecl install uploadprogress
Fatal error: Call to undefined method PEAR::raiseErro() in /usr/share/php/PEAR/REST.php on line 165

Likewise on a search:

# pecl search uploadprogress
The value of config option cache_dir (/tmp/pear/cache) is not a directory and attempts to create the directory failed.

The behavior matches Debian bug #619307, so I suppose the fix may be similar: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=619307 ... also, mkdir /tmp/pear/cache did work around the issue.

Ubuntu version: Ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS
php-pear package version: 5.3.2-1ubuntu4.8

Thanks! -rt

I couldn't fix it with the work around.

Instead I get a longer error message as follow:

/tmp/pear/cache$ pear install validate

Warning: lstat(): Lstat failed for /tmp/pear/cache/8e41acf1705ae1850a413b96a869230erest.cacheid in PEAR/REST.php on line 276

ndefontenay: what release are you seeing this in? I can't reproduce the lstat() warnings; however, the Fatal Error due to the PEAR::raiseErro() typo unfortunately affects all releases.

I'm currently testing the fix for this, and will hopefully be able to release it soon.

Thanks for your patience and sorry for the inconvenience.

In my testing all that needs to be done is:
* add the letter "r" onto line 165 in REST.php
* create /tmp/pear/cache
I have tested installing several packages after doing these steps and it works.

I have a /tmp that will be emptied on reboot. I don't know about anyone else, but I thought the cache should be a little more persistent. I personally have change the location:
mkdir /var/cache/pear
pear config-set cache_dir /var/cache/pear

I suggest that's a little more appropriate and should be the default at installation time.

Comments anyone?
