Binary package hint: php5

The zlib bug in PHP 5.2.10 that was fixed in 5.2.11 was patched into php5 5.2.10.dfsg.1-2ubuntu5, but the bug's effect is still visible when using PEAR:

(*** attempt to install a PEAR package via the "pear" command, with default behavior of "download TGZ file" ***)

$ sudo pear -vvv install Console_CommandLine
Notice: file_exists(): Unable to find the wrapper "channel" - did you forget to enable it when you configured PHP? in PEAR/Downloader/Package.php on line 1517

(*** installation dies silently after the TGZ is downloaded ***)

(*** try it via the -Z option, which tells PEAR to download TAR instead of TGZ ***)

$ sudo pear -vvv install -Z Console_CommandLine

(*** note the "install ok" ***)

This bug has *not* been seen via the #pear testers using amd64 systems... it has only been seen on i686 systems. This point was true also with the previous -ubuntu4 package.

*** Also note that the -Z workaround will *not* work successfully while the symlink bug (#451277) exists, as the symlink bug alone is enough to cause a PEAR package installation to fail.

Bug Report Characteristics:

1)
$ uname -a
Linux izi-desktop 2.6.31-13-generic #45-Ubuntu SMP Tue Oct 13 02:08:03 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux

2)
 $ apt-cache policy php-pear
 php-pear:
   Installé : 5.2.10.dfsg.1-2ubuntu5
   Candidat : 5.2.10.dfsg.1-2ubuntu5
  Table de version :
  *** 5.2.10.dfsg.1-2ubuntu5 0
         500 http://archive.ubuntu.com karmic/main Packages
         100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

3)
"sudo pear install {packagename}" should succeed with "install ok", without needing to add the "-Z" arg

4)
The install command silently dies after the TGZ file is downloaded ("..........done: 37,554 bytes")
