Description:
------------
(this is long post, as i'm attempting to write much
details as possible)

i'm attempting to install PEAR from sources so that i
don't have any PEAR installed on system. this results
bogus error of broken package.xml. it appears to seek
for .registry and .channel from inexistent system
directories (see the strace log)

here's the script to reproduce:
$ cat /tmp/bootstrap/bootstrap.sh
#!/bin/sh
wget http://pear.php.net/get/PEAR-1.4.8.tgz
wget http://pear.php.net/get/Console_Getopt-1.2.tgz
tar zxf Console_Getopt*.tgz
tar zxf PEAR*.tgz
cd PEAR*/
mv ../package2.xml .
rm -rf /tmp/pear-root
php -doutput_buffering=1 \
-dinclude_path=.:../Console_Getopt-1.2 \
scripts/pearcmd.php -c pearrc -d doc_dir=/docs \
-d php_dir=/usr/share/pear \
-d bin_dir=/usr/bin \
-d data_dir=/usr/share/pear/data \
-d test_dir=/usr/share/pear/tests \
install --packagingroot=/tmp/pear-root \
--offline --nodeps package2.xml

and the output looks like:
glen@builder /tmp/bootstrap $ sh -x bootstrap.sh
+ wget http://pear.php.net/get/PEAR-1.4.8.tgz

running the command with strace i see:
$ strace -eopen,stat64 php -doutp....

now we make the dir
$ sudo mkdir -p /usr/share/pear/.registry
$ php -doutput_buffering=1
-dinclude_path=.:../Console_Getopt-1.2 scripts/pearcmd.php
-c pearrc -d doc_dir=/docs -d php_dir=/usr/share/pear -d
bin_dir=/usr/bin -d data_dir=/usr/share/pear/data -d
test_dir=/usr/share/pear/tests install
--packagingroot=/tmp/pear-root --offline --nodeps
package2.xml

Warning: touch(): Unable to create
file /usr/share/pear/.lock because Permission denied in
Registry.php on line 751

creating lock file doesn't help either. but running
channel-update as *root* will help. this is not expected
to do packaging (as it all has to be done as non-root)

so. this works, but requires root privs:
