I'm having the same issue under Windows (PHP 5.0.4). Even renaming the php.ini and retrying didn't help.

But it works fine on our Debian root with PHP 4.4.0 installed.
Maybe its an issue with PHP 5.x and/or Windows only?

mmh, there's only one single entity in the file (Þ). In CVS it has been changed to Þ. Perhaps thats the problem?

Hi!
I've just upgraded PEAR to 1.3.6 and still have the same error:
# pear upgrade file
downloading File-1.2.1.tgz ...
Starting to download File-1.2.1.tgz (15,892 bytes)
.....done: 15,892 bytes
XML error: Undeclared entity warning at line 232

Running Fedora Core 4, PHP 5.0.4

Same problem, PEAR 1.3.6, PHP 5.0.4 (XAMPP distribution), WIndows XP Pro.

I am also experiencing this same problem with Solaris 9 and Mac OS X, PHP 5.0.4, PEAR 1.3.6.

Instructions for installation from CVS are here:
http://pear.php.net/manual/en/installation.cvs.php

Note that those instructions read:
"It is NOT recommended to run a package from CVS in working environments! Because CVS versions are not regular releases, this means:
# You could get no kind of help from the maintainer or anybody other.
#Versions in CVS may break the upgrade mechanism of the PEAR Installer."

I'm using File as a prerequisite to Horde's IMP webmail program in a production environment. Given the note on the CVS page, I'm going to hold off until a production release is made available.

Any ideas on how far off the next release is?

I realize that the PEAR folks are all volunteers, and I do appreciate the great work and the great software.

Thanks,
Bill

Also have the same issue with FC4, PHP 5.04
installed PEAR 1.4.0b but this didn't solve the problem.
upgrade-all but still the same.
Tried to download and install from downloaded file but didn't work.

What to do next?

I've followed instructions in: http://pear.php.net/bugs/bug.php?id=5113
And got it working.
Add to modify the package.xml for File,
Then did a package: pear package "path to the xml file"
Works now.
Thanks.

see instructions below.

As the error message suggests, this is caused by an undeclared entity in
the package.xml file. In line 37, I removed the Þ entity from
the maintainers name and this solved the error.

As a follow up, I replaced the character entity Þ with the
equivalent numeric entity Þ and this also solves the problem.
