Hi,
# yum install php-pear <snip> No package php-pear available. Nothing to do
This is on CentOS 5.8 (i386). The package is available for both archs on the two mirrors I checked. I also tried a # yum clean headers # yum clean metadata # yum clean dbcache to no avail. Am I missing something or is it the metadata?
Regards, Leonard.

yum list *pear* | wc -l results in 111. Piping it through more... perhaps you want php-pear.noarch?

Something is broken about your configuration.

Hahaha! It's been a while since I set up this system. There's an exclude=php-pear in my repo config that I'd totally forgotten about. I put it in to avoid an update to that package possibly blowing away hand added PEAR packages.
Just today I decided to upgrade from php to php53 and removed all php* packages before proceeding. Checked everything including the data files in /var/cache/yum, no mention of pear there either. What I did not check was my repo config. Doh!
Thank you for putting me straight and sorry for the fuzz. At least I learned that an exclude in the repo config not only filters the package on yum execution, it completely filters it from the local cached metadata which I grepped.
If you missed my previous post, thank you and the rest of the team very much for yet another fine release!
Regards, Leonard.
