I can confirm that for PHP 5.1

As the error message suggests, this is caused by an undeclared entity in the package.xml file. In line 37, I removed the Þ entity from the maintainers name and this solved the error.

As a follow up, I replaced the character entity Þ with the equivalent numeric entity Þ and this also solves the problem.

Seems this is a issue in the PEAR Installer, we already use Þ in the package.xml instead of Þ ... So the installer is doing the conversion.

Forgot to change the category

this is a bug in the built-in PHP xml parser, which should recognize {-style entities and does not. There is a workaround in PEAR 1.4.x

How soon is this updated so that PEAR install FILE will work? If I use CVS to download PEAR (I am working on PHP documentation, but also like to see what is happening to PEAR), the package.xml file shows that File is stable at V1.2.2, but PEAR upgrade -f File will only install 1.2.1 I assume there is some mechanism to convert from CVS to PEAR? Regards, Richard.

File 1.2.2 is not released yet. When it is released, it will be available
