Bugzilla Bug 98956

After upgrading PHP, I discovered pear was no longer installed. So, I learned
that I needed to emerge 1.3.5-r1 to get it back. Minor problem: -r1 assumes PEAR
is present if it has a version number:

        if has_version "dev-php/PEAR-PEAR"; then
                install_pear_without_bootstrap
        else
                bootstrap_pear
                install_pear_after_bootstrap
        fi

This looks decent, but upgrading PHP causes /usr/bin/pear to be removed
(multiple packages owning the same file is ugly), so the when -r1 tries to
install_pear_without_bootstrap, it fails miserably. I think the safest check is
simply whether or not the pear script exists:

        if (-x /usr/bin/pear); then
                install_pear_without_bootstrap
        else
                bootstrap_pear
                install_pear_after_bootstrap
        fi

Please, post the error messages you get you get when _not_ boostrapping.

Steps to reproduce:
1. emerge =dev-php/php-5.0.3-r1
2. emerge ">dev-php/php-5.0.3-r1"
3. emerge =dev-php/PEAR-PEAR-1.3.5-r1

Tested fix:
-       if has_version "dev-php/PEAR-PEAR"; then
+       if -x /usr/bin/pear; then

You forgot to reopen... 

Fixed in CVS.
