Description: ------------ If I update my pear installation, I get the following error: client:/home/blackm# pear upgrade-all Will upgrade archive_tar Will upgrade db Will upgrade http Will upgrade mail Will upgrade net_smtp Will upgrade net_socket Will upgrade pear Will upgrade xml_parser Will upgrade xml_rpc [...] Starting to download XML_RPC-1.4.3.tgz (27,198 bytes) ...done: 27,198 bytes Segmentation fault There is someone else [1] reprting this problem with php 4.4 [1] http://lists.horde.org/archives/horde/Week-of-Mon-20050926/028900.html

I found I had to do the following to get this to work: pear upgrade XML_RPC manually download PEAR 1.3.6 then pear upgrade PEAR-1.3.6.tgz pear upgrade Archive_Tar pear upgrade PEAR pear ua I found this out by trying to just upgrade PEAR and found that I needed to be at 1.3.6 in order to upgrade. Maybe this can help someone else out. JB

This worked for me. So the problem is not about XML_RPC but about PEAR.

Changed package from XML_RPC to PEAR.

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. If you use an old, buggy version of PEAR, you're getting what you ask for. Also, a segmentation fault is a bug in *PHP* not necessarily in PEAR.

Since this bug report seems to be well googled, I'll post my (slightly quicker) solution to the issue: pear upgrade pear-1.3.3 pear upgrade pear pear upgrade xml_rpc pear upgrade-all Works like a charm! A
