[Bug 445536] Re: pear install fails without error message, downloaded go-pear is also affected (Karmic)

[Gabor Halaszvari]

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:
  root at 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
  root at nx7400:/root# 

  root at nx7400:/root# pear upgrade-all
  Will upgrade channel://pear.php.net/pear
  downloading PEAR-1.9.0.tgz ...
  Starting to download PEAR-1.9.0.tgz (291,634 bytes)
  .................................done: 291,634 bytes
  root at nx7400:/root# 

  root at nx7400:/root# pear install Pear
  downloading PEAR-1.9.0.tgz ...
  Starting to download PEAR-1.9.0.tgz (291,634 bytes)
  .............................................................done: 291,634 bytes
  root at nx7400:/root# 


The output of the same command under Ubuntu 9.04:
  root at pcdev01:~# pear install Date
  downloading Date-1.4.7.tgz ...
  Starting to download Date-1.4.7.tgz (55,754 bytes)
  .............done: 55,754 bytes
  install ok: channel://pear.php.net/Date-1.4.7
  root at pcdev01:~#


The last line of the 9.04 output (install ok: ....) shows that the downloaded package was successfully unpacked and installed.

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.
