Nov11th06@// Upgrading PEAR on Debian

Nov 11th 06 at 1pm to English · Tags: , , , , ·

After trying hard to upgrade PEAR 1.3.2 to latest with the build in upgrade tool pear upgrade pear on my own Debian 3.1 (Sarge) I got the following error message so many times I can’t count

pinion:/# pear upgrade PEAR
downloading PEAR-1.4.11.tgz ...
Starting to download PEAR-1.4.11.tgz (283,272 bytes)
..........................................................done: 283,272 bytes
requires package `PEAR' >= 1.3.3

And
Segmentation fault

I came across this workaround:

pear upgrade http://pear.php.net/get/PEAR-1.3.3.tgz
pear upgrade Archive_Tar
pear upgrade PEAR
pear upgrade-all

    Thank you, your workaround worked a treat :) I was scratching my head about how to upgrade pear after the upgrade command complained that my version was too old - but that’s why I’m upgrading!

    Good guide, I’ve been staring at this for some time. Nice to see it documented somewhere.
