Description: ------------ When installing PEAR-DB (version 1.7.6-r1) I get the following error message (emerging in gentoo with debug option switched on): ############################### 000355 + pear -d php_bin=/usr/lib/php5/bin/php install --force --loose --nodeps --offline --packagingroot=/var/tmp/portage/PEAR-DB-1.7.6-r1/image/ /var/tmp/portage/PEAR-DB-1.7.6-r1/work/DB-1.7.6/package.xml 000356 + diefunc php-pear-r1_src_install 66 1 'Unable to install PEAR package' 000357 + local funcname=php-pear-r1_src_install lineno=66 exitcode=1 000358 + shift 3 000359 + echo 000360 000361 + echo '!!!

However, debugging this install.php file a little, showed this: in line 545 is a call to retrieve the $pkg variable from $reg with two parameters: $param->getPackage() and $param->getChannel. The first parameter is empty while the second parameter contains "pear.php.net" (as expected). That's why I render that $pkg is null so the call $pkg->... in line 546 fails.

Expected result: ---------------- I expect that everything installs ok. Actual result: -------------- see Description.

We do not support 3rd parties installation tools. If you have troubles using our installers with go-pear and then the pear command itself, please reopen this bug. Any other distribution specific issues should be reported to the gentoo maintainers.
