Well, I'll be, I tried it with 'install -f XML_Serializer' and it worked. I
have a love/hate relationship with command-lines. In this case, love it!
Thanks for the tip, Scott.

Cheers,
lincoln

Hi,

I'm glad this worked out for you. In general, using the -f or --force
command-line option is risky. -f will cause the installer to install a
package even if there are missing dependencies or other serious errors.

The best way to figure out what's going on is to use this command sequence

pear remote-info XML_Serializer

You'll see at the top "latest: 0.9.2." This is the latest version. You
can install it simply by using

pear install XML_Serializer-0.9.2

For future PEAR versions, I will add this information to the error
message, as it is clearly needed :)

this is due to the prefered state setting.
it is problably set to "stable" .. therefore therefore the installer
ignores releases below "stable". you can set the setting to "dev" if you
dont care for this.

furthermore "-f" is not the best way to get things to install as this
ignores all checkes (including dependencies).

if you dont want to change your prefered state then you can also append
the state which you want like so:
pear install XML_Serializer-beta
