1. Is this reproducible? Absolutely. It happens at every "pear install" and "pear upgrade" command.
2. If so, what specific steps should we take to recreate this bug? Be as detailed as possible. Try to upgrade a pear package, or try to install a new one. The package will be downloaded, but pear is exiting before the installation without any error message: Examples: r...@nx7400:/root# pear install Date downloading Date-1.4.7.tgz ... Starting to download Date-1.4.7.tgz (55,754 bytes) .............done: 55,754 bytes r...@nx7400:/root# r...@nx7400:/root# pear upgrade-all Will upgrade channel://pear.php.net/pear downloading PEAR-1.9.0.tgz ...

The pear script in 9.10 exits before this step (the downloaded 'go-pear' script also). I think it's related to the PHP zlib extension and the Archive_Tar pear package which is used to unpack the downloaded files. -- pear install fails without error message, downloaded go-pear is also affected (Karmic) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/445536 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
