It looks like it might be 1.7.2, but I didn't find any definitive, "THIS IS THE CURRENT VERSION OF PEAR" on the pear website.

I'm trying to upgrade PEAR on a system that I'm not all that familiar with.

pear version yields...

PEAR Version: 1.4.9
PHP Version: 5.1.6
Zend Engine Version: 2.1.0
Running on: Linux...

I ran pear upgrade pear and this message was included.

pear/PEAR dependency package "pear/Archive_Tar" installed version 1.3.5 is not the recommended version 1.3.3, but may be compatible, use --force to install
pear/Archive_Tar requires PEAR Installer (version >= 1.5.4), installed version is 1.4.9

  • I know how you feel; PEAR and PECL have always been kind sloppy. It's even worse for Windows. :-(

Reset to default

It's now 

pear upgrade --force --alldeps http://pear.php.net/get/PEAR-1.10.1

Then upgrade the rest

pear clear-cache
pear update-channels
pear upgrade
pear upgrade-all

I am using Debian 8 and apt-get install php-pear only installs 1.9.

I then found this works:

pear upgrade pear
