Description: ------------ I tried to install symfony package, but pear install ended with memory exhausted error. I raised the limit. When I try to install symfony, install complains the package is installed. Uninstall complains package is not installed. Test script: --------------- $ sudo pear install symfony/symfony downloading symfony-1.0.0.tgz ...

and pear list does not list the package

I meant it's OK pear crashed. But it should recover from this gracefully. Is there a way this could happen? Pear should detect the registry is corrupted and offer a way to fix it.
