This doesn't helps (actually the mentioned patch seems to be already applied to the Ubuntu files): http://cweiske.de/tagebuch/pear-php-5.5.htm This workaround seems to work for me (still playing around with it). It probably also works for "pear install". ======== # First run pear to download the packages. It will probably put the packages into # /build/buildd/php5-5.5.9+dfsg/pear-build-download/ # but it can't install them. $ pear upgrade # Un-Gzip the downloaded packages. $ gunzip /build/buildd/php5-5.5.9+dfsg/pear-build-download/*.tar # Now pear should be able to work with the pure tar-files. $ pear upgrade /build/buildd/php5-5.5.9+dfsg/pear-build-download/*.tar ======== So by this workaround I guess, the bug's reason is something about the gzip compression. ** Bug watch added: bugs.php.net/ #67075 http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=67075 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to php5 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1310552 Title: could not extract the package.xml file from "/build/buildd/php5-5.5.9+dfsg/pear-build-download/packagename.tgz" To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/php5/+bug/1310552/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
