Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug.

The purpose of PHP_Fork is to implement a OO interface to the PHP extension pcntl. So this ext is required.
the posix ext is required to take the control over multiple php processes.
In order to implement IPC (inter process communication) the shmop module is also required .

the problem is at install stage, install itself does not
need those extensions being present.

so most likely the package.xml file is invalid (what the
error message actually is saying)

anyway, even after installing those extensions the error
stays:

I have same error. And i found that error is generated in PEAR/Dependency2.php line 1090, when i write "print_r($dep) before this:
------
list($newdep, $type) = $this->normalizeDep($dep);
if (!$newdep) {
return $this->raiseError("Invalid Dependency");
}
------
result was:
------
Array
(
[type] => sapi
[rel] => has
[name] => cli
[optional] => no
)
-----
So, this variable $dep is send to function
-----
function normalizeDep($dep)
{
$types = array(
'pkg' => 'Package',
'ext' => 'Extension',
'os' => 'Os',
'php' => 'Php'
);
if (isset($types[$dep['type']])) {
$type = $types[$dep['type']];
} else {
return array(false, false);
}
-----
Here you can see, that type of PHP_Fork is 'cli', but it doesnt present in $types and function returns array(false,false). thats why we see error.
