Sometimes it happens…

Solution: locate the .channels/ directory
For ubuntu with Zend-CE 5.2 it’s in /usr/local/zend/share/pear/.channels/

And delete everything in there

sudo rm /usr/local/zend/share/pear/.channels/*

then do a fresh pear update-channels to reconstruct the serialized cache file in .channels/

sudo pear update-channels

if you also want to also install phpunit


cd /usr/local/zend/bin/
sudo ./pear channel-discover pear.phpunit.de
sudo ./pear install phpunit/PHPUnit
