问题
I've downgraded php to 5.2 in ubuntu 10.04 and it seems i can't install new pear packages.
the existing packages i had by typing pear list are :
Package Version State
Archive_Tar 1.3.3 stable
Console_Getopt 1.2.3 stable
PEAR 1.9.0 stable
Structures_Graph 1.0.2 stable
XML_Util 1.2.1 stable
In /usr/share/php/PEAR there are few packages which seems not to be appearing on the list.
I wanted to install SOAP but the command pear install pear.php.net/SOAP-0.12.0 is not downloading the dependent packages and instead of installing it downloads the package itself.
After a while i figured out that it was downloading in /build/buildd/php5-5.2.10.dfsg.1/pear-build-download but then after i changed to that path even the pear install Mail_Mime-1.8.0.tgz gives no output, it does not hang or anything it just gives back the prompt.the pear list gives the exact same output above.
How can i deal with this? thanks P.S: i've tried on windows 7 and it downloads all the dependencies and installed everything. thanks for reading
回答1:
have you tried a using the "--force" argument? For example:
pear upgrade --force Mail_Mime-1.8.0.tgz
