Are you getting the following error while updating any package in pear?
pear.php.net is using a unsupported protocal – This should never happen.
I got this error right after I upgraded PHP from 5.2 to 5.9 (using CentOS-Testing repo). To resolve this situation, do this.
rm -fr /usr/share/pear/.channels
and then do this
pear update-channels
It should now give you the following output
Updating channel "doc.php.net" Update of Channel "doc.php.net" succeeded Updating channel "pear.php.net" Update of Channel "pear.php.net" succeeded Updating channel "pecl.php.net" Update of Channel "pecl.php.net" succeeded
That’s it, your issue is resolved.
