Unsure if this is related but PEAR-PEAR installs, but also display's these
errors:

So far I've tried a heap of different versions of PHP (both PHP4 & PHP5 and
minor versions of both) upgrading sandbox, upgrading all of the applications
that PEAR-PEAR and PEAR-DB depend on, different use flags, different versions
of PEAR-PEAR, uninstalling and manually deleting /usr/share/php and
/etc/pear.conf and reinstalling and still can't make it work.


I'm not the only person who has this problem (see
http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-476928-highlight-peardb.html).

One of the configurations that I have tried should definately work (as far as I
can tell) as I'm running the exact same versions on other computers here so I
can't work out what is going wrong.

Please, rm -f /etc/pear.conf, upgrade to PEAR-PEAR-1.4.11  and try again.
Report back if it helped or not. Thanks!

I encountered a similar problem, upgrade to PEAR-PEAR 1.4.11 helped, eventually
-- after pear clear-cache. I suggest that pear clear-cache be done in
pkg_postinst for PEAR-PEAR before the channel-discover stuff.

Done, thanks.
