Odd Pear error today.  Trying to install PHPUnit3 on a newish server.  Following the instructions at the PHPUnit Pocketguide.  Here's the steps I did and the error I received.  I'm not sure at this point if this is a bug in the Pear installer or if there's a problem with the way the PHPUnit channel is configured so I don't know where to file this. 
[code]php# pear channel-discover pear.phpunit.de 
Adding Channel "pear.phpunit.de" succeeded 
Discovery of channel "pear.phpunit.de" succeeded 
php# pear install phpunit/PHPUnit 
SECURITY ERROR: package in channel "pear.phpunit.de" retrieved another channel's name for download! ("pear.php.net") 
Cannot initialize 'channel://pear.phpunit.de/PHPUnit', invalid or missing package file 
Package "channel://pear.phpunit.de/PHPUnit" is not valid 
install failed 
php# pear version 
PEAR Version: 1.6.1 
PHP Version: 5.2.1 
Zend Engine Version: 2.2.0[/code] 
Installing the code manually (the second set of install instructions listed) works just fine however.  On to my unit testing!

I have the same problem with this error message:
SECURITY ERROR: package in channel "pear.symfony-project.com" retrieved another channel's name for download! ("pear.php.net")
install failed
Suse: 11.3
php: 5.3.5
pear: 1.9.1
It usually just means that the particular server is down or really slow. Try again later.
Well, I am trying it for days now and it does not work with Suse 11.3 (fresh install). It worked with Debian 4 without any problems. I am using a VM, but that should not be the problem ...
