Description:
------------
Went to upgrade to Pear 1.3.6 after a recent PHP upgrade. Ran
upgrade-all, and was told to install Auth_SASL in order to
upgrade Net_SMTP. I cancelled the upgrade, installed Auth_SASL
fine. Went back to upgrade-all. Everything proceeded as
expected, but the Pear binary was gone.
The upgrade message from Pear indicated that it worked as
expected.

Thank you for taking the time to report a problem with the package.
Unfortunately you are not using a current version of the package --
the problem might already be fixed. Please download a new
version from http://pear.php.net/packages.php
If you are able to reproduce the bug with one of the latest
versions, please change the package version on this bug report
to the version you tested and change the status back to "Open".
Again, thank you for your continued support of PEAR.
PEAR 1.3.6 is very old, and the version you were upgrading from was god knows how old. 1.3.x has several critical bugs, and this is one of them that occasionally happens. The best plan of action is to re-install PEAR from go-pear.

Apologies... I was upgrading from 1.3.6 to 1.4.4. The binary
happened during the upgrade to 1.4.4.
I spoke with CPUnerd in #pear on freenode. He asked for the
bug to be filed.

Honestly I don't remember. On the second box (which
exhibited the same behavior), I didn't run upgrade-all
first. I installed Auth_SASL, then did upgrade-all.
If the original upgrade-all did not give me a prompt to
quit, I would have Cntl-C'ed it. I don't believe it gave me
the option to install it without quitting.
Hope this helps,
Norman

this is actually a duplicate of http://pear.php.net/bugs/5906
Would you be so kind as to re-install PEAR 1.3.6, and try the upgrade again? I am pretty sure this is caused by a serious race condition bug in PEAR 1.3.x that was fixed by rewriting how it does file handling :/. In other words, to fix the bug you have to upgrade, but sometimes upgrading doesn't work - catch 22.
However, if there is another cause, I would like to find a fix.

Thanks :)
