I am running up against a less than helpful error message when trying to
install php-pear-DB (why people cannot content themselves with all
lowercase packages names escapes me, but that is a rant for another time
and place). After enableing centos-plus and adding includepkgs=php-pear-DB
I get this:
# yum install php-pear-DB

So, what is php-pear(PEAR) and how do I get it installed? Can anyone help?
