After investing hours trying all sorts of suggestions that worked for others... None worked for me...

This is what did work...

1) net1# pecl upgrade
     pear.php.net is using a unsupported protocol - This should never happen.

     Error still occurring...

2) pear upgrade
     ... snip ...
     pear/pear dependency package "pear/XML_Util" downloaded version 1.2.3 is not the recommended version 1.2.1, but may be compatible, use --force to install
     pear/XML_Util cannot be installed, conflicts with installed packages

     So pear gives more info... great... Now to cram through a forced update...

3) pear install --force XML_Util

4) pecl upgrade works now.

Very ugly.
