RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Rajesh Dulhani 2022-02-16 21:40:53 UTC 
Description of problem:

"pecl upgrade" should return "Nothing to upgrade" and exit with a status code of 0 when all PECL installed packages are the latest version. Currently, it fails with status code 1 and the unhelpful error message:

pear.php.net is using a unsupported protocol - This should never happen.
pear.php.net is using a unsupported protocol - This should never happen.
upgrade failed


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

# rpm -qf /usr/bin/pecl
php-pear-1.10.12-1.module+el8.3.0+6678+b09f589e.noarch


How reproducible:

This is with a clean installation of RHEL 8.5 on AWS. Here is the complete command history.

# history
    1  dnf update
    2  shutdown -r now
    3  dnf module enable php:7.4
    4  dnf install -y php php-devel php-pear make
    5  pecl install redis-5.3.4
    6  pecl upgrade
    7  pecl upgrade

Note that command 6 updates the redis extension to version 5.3.6 successfully. Command 7 fails with:

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


This appears to be fixed upstream. The problem can be temporarily resolved with "pear upgrade --force", which rebuilds and overwrite the php-pear package from Red Hat. However, re-installing this package reverts to the broken behavior. This strongly indicates that future updates to this package will again break pear/pecl in this way if the bug isn't squashed.


Steps to Reproduce:

~~~
# cat /etc/redhat-release 
Red Hat Enterprise Linux release 8.5 (Ootpa)


# rpm -qf /usr/bin/pecl
php-pear-1.10.12-1.module+el8.3.0+6678+b09f589e.noarch


# dnf install -y php php-devel php-pear make

Expected results:

1. "pecl list-upgrades" works and correctly informs the sysadmin of which specific extensions have available updates.
2. "pecl upgrade extension" works as expected.

The combination of these means that it is possible to identify and update extensions that are not on their most recent version. However, this complicates the automation of PHP extension updates.

> WARNING: channel "pear.php.net" has updated its protocols, use "pecl channel-update pear.php.net" to update

This is only a warning

So only issue I see is 

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

instead of 

   # pecl upgrade
   Nothing to upgrade


This is fixed in pear 1.10.13 (so php:8.0/devel is not affected, only php:7.4/devel)

Greetings Remi!

I must respectfully disagree with you on "This is only a warning" as the command exits with a failure status code.

  # pecl upgrade
  pear.php.net is using a unsupported protocol - This should never happen.
  pear.php.net is using a unsupported protocol - This should never happen.
  upgrade failed
  # echo $?
  1

After forcibly recompiling to the latest upstream pear with "pear upgrade --force", this now works as expected and returns a success.

  # pecl upgrade
  Nothing to upgrade
  # echo $?
  0

On a single individual server, this isn't much of an issue, but when trying to maintain fleets of thousands of servers via automation, failures like this matter. For instance, upstream may release a new version of the redis plugin which fixes a critical bug or security vulnerability and we need to apply it everywhere. In an environment with thousands of servers, some may have the latest version of the extension installed, some may have older versions, and some may not have it installed at all. Unexpected errors like this really wreck havoc with automation in those situations.
