Installing Doctrine2 using PEAR


I was having a some sort of hell trying to install Doctrine via PEAR lately.
$sudo pear channel-discover pear.doctrine-project.org
$sudo pear install -o pear.doctrine-project.org/DoctrineORM

Was giving me errors like:
Package "pear.doctrine-project.org/DoctrineORM" dependency "pear.symfony.com/Console" has no releases
Package "pear.doctrine-project.org/DoctrineDBAL" dependency "pear.symfony.com/Console" has no releases
doctrine/DoctrineORM requires package "pear.symfony.com/Console" (version >= 2.0.0)
doctrine/DoctrineORM requires package "pear.symfony.com/Yaml" (version >= 2.0.0), installed version is 1.0.6
doctrine/DoctrineDBAL requires package "pear.symfony.com/Console" (version >= 2.0.0)
No valid packages found
install failed

See, for some unknown reason the versions are not correct for the dependencies. Tried the solutions as stated in this StackOverflow topic for updating PEAR, but didn’t help!

Tried to remove/purge pear. But it didn’t help. Tried to install the Console, Yaml etc separately, also didn’t help.

Then when I tried to purge pear again I got the following error:

Removing php-pear …
Purging configuration files for php-pear ...
dpkg: warning: while removing php-pear, directory '/usr/share/doc/php5-common/PEAR' not empty so not removed
dpkg: warning: while removing php-pear, directory '/usr/share/php/.channels' not empty so not removed

There were some other folders which was reported to be not empty:
/usr/share/php/.registry/
/usr/share/php/.channels/.alias
/usr/share/php/data
/usr/share/doc/php5-common/PEAR/Archive_Tar/docs
/usr/share/doc/php5-common/PEAR

So, I removed them all!

Now, I again installed pear.

sudo apt-get install php-pear
Fingers crossed…

Added Doctrine channel: sudo pear channel-discover pear.doctrine-project.org
And it didn’t say this time that channel is already in registry. Smiling…

Now to fire up doctrine installation, hope this time it works…
sudo pear install -o pear.doctrine-project.org/DoctrineORM

et viola! it did!

Now lets test.
sudo pear list -c pear.doctrine-project.org

Results in:
