Description: ------------ I have Structures_DataGrid and all of its drivers installed. Structures_DataGrid is a required dependency for all of its drivers. I type: pear uninstall structures_datagrid And it says: uninstall ok: channel://pear.php.net/Structures_DataGrid-0.8.0 All drivers are still here, in a unusable state.

I cannot reproduce this bug, and don't see how it could occur without a corrupted installation of some kind (I stepped through the whole process with a debugger to be sure). Please verify that you have taken these steps: pear -V You should see 1.5.0RC2 If not, then mark this bug as bogus. Next run: pear install Structures_DataGrid pear install Structures_DataGrid_Whatever then, run pear list *verify that the packages are installed* then run pear uninstall Structures_DataGrid If you still get the same error, then let me know. Please run this test as soon as possible.

I can't reproduce this bug anymore. I did exactly what you said (yes it's 1.5.0RC2) and it works, it complains about dependencies. However, IIRC, I suspect the bug appeared when I tried to uninstall the package with PEAR 1.5.0RC2, but I had installed it (and the drivers) a long time ago with a 1.4.X (older?) version. In other words: I upgraded the pear installer between installing and uninstalling.

aha - I know for a fact that some earlier versions of PEAR 1.4.x did in fact register dependencies incorrectly in the database, but did not know it affected some uninstalls. I am marking the bug bogus, but will be writing a message and doing a blog post about the problem, after I do some research to figure out which PEAR versions are affected. Thanks
