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

• php4-pear: Segfault when doing pear upgrade-all
• PEAR - PHP Extension and Application Repository
• Debian — The Universal Operating System
