[pkg-php-pear] Bug#805222: Bug now appears in Debian Jessie

[Sven-Haegar Koch]

Hallo,

It seems that this bug (fixed for Debian Unstable) "PECL extensions 
FTBFS with PHP Fatal error: Call to a member function getFilelist() 
on null" now appeared in Debian Stable (Jessie) with the PHP5 security 
updates, but there missing the fix introduced.

To reproduce try rebuilding the php-apcu 4.0.7-1 source package (in an 
fully updated Jessie):

...
dh_auto_install --destdir=debian/php5-apcu
        install -d debian/php5-apcu
        /usr/bin/pear -c debian/pearrc -d download_dir=/tmp -d 
include_path=/usr/share/php -d php_bin=/usr/bin/php -d bin_dir=/usr/bin 
-d php_dir=/usr/share/php -d data_dir=/usr/share/php/data -d 
doc_dir=/usr/share/doc/php5-apcu -d test_dir=/usr/share/php/tests 
install --offline --nodeps -P 
/home/haegar/ap/php-apcu-4.0.7/debian/php5-apcu --nobuild 
./apcu-4.0.7/package.xml
PHP Fatal error:  Call to a member function getFilelist() on null in 
/usr/share/php/PEAR/Command/Install.php on line 747
dh_auto_install: /usr/bin/pear -c debian/pearrc -d download_dir=/tmp -d 
include_path=/usr/share/php -d php_bin=/usr/bin/php -d bin_dir=/usr/bin 
-d php_dir=/usr/share/php -d data_dir=/usr/share/php/data -d 
doc_dir=/usr/share/doc/php5-apcu -d test_dir=/usr/share/php/tests 
install --offline --nodeps -P 
/home/haegar/ap/php-apcu-4.0.7/debian/php5-apcu --nobuild 
./apcu-4.0.7/package.xml returned exit code 255
