Description:
------------
When trying to get package listing with Pear Gtk2 installer, there is a crash (error) during package reading (in the middle). Exact error is :

Fatal error: Cannot use string offset as an array in /local/user/usr/stow/php-5.1.4/lib/php/PEAR/Frontend/Gtk2/Packages.php on line 313

- there is no probleme at all with Gnope and pecl.php.net.
- this error also occures when preferred_state beta
and when clearing (rm -fr) pear cache.

lines context (line 313 is starred) :

foreach ($arRemotePackages as $strId => $dontuseit) {
if ($callback !== null) {
call_user_func_array($callback, array($nNumberPackages, ++$nCurrentPackageNumber));
}
$package = $arRemotePackages[$strId];
$inf = PEAR_Frontend_Gtk2_Packages::retrieveCacheFirst(
PEAR_Frontend_Gtk2_Packages::getInfoUrl($strBaseUrl, $package->getName()),
$config,
$rest,
$bWorkOffline,
$bUseCache
);
if (PEAR::isError($inf)) {
if (strpos(strtolower($inf->message), '404 not found') !== false) {
//FIXME: That is a hack because the error hasn't an error code yet.
//We continue because it's an 404 error, maybe the package isn't there yet.
//Happens if you installed new packages which haven't been uploaded to the server yet.
$package->setCategory($package->guessCategory($package->getName()));
continue;
}
throw new Exception($inf->getMessage());
}
*** here *** if ($inf['ca']['_content'] !== null) {
$package->setCategory( $inf['ca']['_content']);
}
$package->setSummary( $inf['s']);
$package->setDescription($inf['d']);
$package->setLatestVersion(
//FIXME: use preferred_state config option
PEAR_Frontend_Gtk2_Packages::retrieveCacheFirst(
PEAR_Frontend_Gtk2_Packages::getLatestVersionUrl($strBaseUrl, $package->getName()),
$config,
$rest,
$bWorkOffline,
$bUseCache
)
);
}

$package value when error occures :

this error is from internet proxy filtering. Requested package contains "sex" letters. So this url is filtered.

PEAR_Frontend_Gtk2_Packages::getInfoUrl() need extra controls.
