Description:
------------
Running pear install File creates the following error:
XML error: Undeclared entity warning at line 232

From Solaris 9 and Mac OS X, I've found that if I download the package using pear, and attempt to manually expand the archive, an error is produced (using Sun tar and GNU tar):

gunzip File-1.2.1.tgz
tar -xvf File-1.2.1.tar

Test script:
---------------
pear install File

Expected result:
----------------
The package should be installed automatically.

Actual result:
--------------
Package installation fails.

I downloaded the file, unzipped and untarred it, and changed the Þ in Helgi's last name to T. Packed up again, and installed the new file:

C:\DOCUME~1\olle>pear install File-1.2.1.tgz
File already installed

So, no cigar. My package installer did not like the excercise, and just lists 1.2.0 in the "pear list".

I get this message also

mike(at php.net),

I did a search using the bug system to find any existing bugs like this one and I could not, which is why I opened this one. Would you mind providing the link to the existing one?

Perhaps the bug search could be improved? full text indexing can help with things like this.

Thanks,
Bill
