PECL seems to ignore newer packages

First of all I'm sorry that I'm cross-posting this issue, but it looks like there are never any replies in pecl-dev (after reading and checking the archives) and I couldn't find any other mailing list where I could post this issue to. There's no support page for php/pecl infrastructure issues (at least I couldn't find it), thus here I am. For a while now PECL ignores newer packages and thinks that older packages are the most recent ones. e.g. I have the following packages installed: # pecl list INSTALLED PACKAGES, CHANNEL PECL.PHP.NET: ========================================= PACKAGE VERSION STATE libsodium 2.0.13 stable redis 4.1.1 stable When I try to insall/upgrade to the latest libsodium, I get the following messages: # pecl install libsodium pecl/libsodium is already installed and is the same as the released version 2.0.13 install failed # pecl upgrade libsodium Nothing to upgrade This is wrong, since the latest version is 2.0.15. I can't upgrade redis either. Then I tried to install a new package (which I haven't installed yet): # pecl install yaml downloading yaml-2.0.2.tgz ... As you can see, it tries to install 2.0.2, while the latest version is actually 2.0.3. Something is seriously off, but I don't know how to fix this, since it looks like an issue on the server. Can someone please explain to me what's going on? Cheers, K. C.

Please ignore. I got a reply on pecl-dev, which is truly amazing.

You can file bug reports on <https://bugs.php.net/> for such issues. If you choose “PECL” as affected package, respective mails will also be sent to pecl-dev.
