[2005-11-14 14:25 UTC] bugs at timj dot co dot uk

Description:
------------
$ pear -V
PEAR Version: 1.4.4
PHP Version: 5.0.4
Zend Engine Version: 2.0.4-dev

After building packages made with "pear makerpm", the installed package can neither be upgraded nor erased cleanly.

This is not the same as bug #4354.

Test script:
---------------
Examples done using HTTP 1.3.5/1.3.6

Example 1: Erasing

# rpm -i PEAR\:\:HTTP-1.3.5-1.noarch.rpm
# rpm -e PEAR::HTTP

Example 2: Upgrading
# rpm -i PEAR\:\:HTTP-1.3.5-1.noarch.rpm
# rpm -U PEAR\:\:HTTP-1.3.6-1.noarch.rpm

%install
pear -c %{buildroot}/pearrc install --nodeps -R %{buildroot} \

Expected result:
----------------
(this is the result after applying above patch)

Example 1 output:
[install]
install ok: channel://pear.php.net/HTTP-1.3.5
[uninstall]
uninstall ok: channel://pear.php.net/HTTP-1.3.5

Example 2 output:

[install]
install ok: channel://pear.php.net/HTTP-1.3.5
[upgrade]
upgrade ok: channel://pear.php.net/HTTP-1.3.6

Actual result:
--------------
Example 1 output:
[install]
install ok: channel://pear.php.net/HTTP-1.3.5
[uninstall]
pear/HTTP not installed
rm: cannot remove `/var/lib/pear/HTTP.xml': No such file or directory

Example 2 output:
