Answer 1

PEAR 1.9.2 is outdated and broken beyond any hope of repair with newer pear server infrastructure.

I have no clue why distributions still insist on something that is just broken :)

Install a new pear via go-pear.phar and make sure you have pear version 1.9.4 and then force pear to ignore it's old cache files using

sudo pear install --force --alldeps phpunit/phpunit

---

Getting rid of the old pear:

sudo apt-get purge php5-pear

Now

which pear

should result in the command not being found. If it is still there delete the binary and the associated php classes in /usr/share/php.

From your console history I'd say you didn't install the new pear with sudo rights so it landed in /home/ or in /usr/local/ instead of in the default system location.

It shouldn't matter as long as you

• Get rid of the old pear
• Change your php.ini include_path to the new pear install location
