Bug Description

Binary package hint: php-pear

On my AMD64 ubuntu installation, any pecl operation (well, 'install' at the very least) results
in a lack of memory:

# pecl install memcache
downloading memcache-2.0.4.tgz ...
Starting to download memcache-2.0.4.tgz (17,778 bytes)
......done: 17,778 bytes

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 23040 bytes) in /usr/share/php/Archive/Tar.php on line 358

Noting that /usr/bin/pecl disables php.ini, I added "-d memory_limit=32M" and the problem went away.

I can confirm this problem. Another solution is to add

@ini_set('memory_limit', '16M');

to /usr/share/php/pearcmd.php

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. However, I am closing it because the bug has been fixed in php5 version 5.2.0-3 (i.e. since Feisty).

If you need a fix for the bug in previous versions of Ubuntu, please follow the instructions for "How to request new packages" at [WWW] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports#request-new-packages
