Description:
------------
When you
pear uninstall --nodeps --ignore-errors --register-only foo

The file owned by foo are removed.

Documentation say it should not.

This is a big problem when packaging RPM:
when a package "obsolotes" a old one, "pear uninstall" (in %postun) delete newly installed files.

Test script:
---------------
# pear install File
# ls /usr/share/pear/File.php
/usr/share/pear/File.php
# pear uninstall --nodeps --ignore-errors --register-only File
# ls /usr/share/pear/File.php
ls: /usr/share/pear/File.php: No such file or directory
