[php-maint] Bug#334969: php-pear: pear upgrade-all gives me Fatal error: Cannot instantiate

[Paul van der Holst]

Package: php-pear
Version: 5.0.5-3
Severity: grave
Tags: patch
Justification: renders package unusable

When I run the following command:

        only4clans:~# pear upgrade-all
        Fatal error: Cannot instantiate non-existent class:  pear_command_auth-init in /usr/share/php/PEAR/Command.php on line 271

it gives that error..
I've searched and fixed mine problem.. but hopefully this can be fixed for other people aswell  

        In the PEAR/Command directory there are files like "Auth-init.php" that should
        not be automatically included by Command::registerCommands(). The fix for me was to alter line 263 to look like this:

            if ($entry{0} == '.' || substr($entry, -4) != '.php' || $entry == 'Common.php' || (strpos($entry,'-') !== false)) {

Hopefully this can help some people!
Sincerely
Paul
