Pear in Debian Woody (3.0) doesn't work

It's broken. Here's the best solution I've found so far:

Get rid of the old, broken version
dpkg --purge php4-pear

Install CGI-version of PHP and the lynx browser

apt-get install php4-cgi lynx cd /usr/bin ln -s php4 php

Install the PEAR package manager and some modules (Follow the instructions (defaults are okay))

lynx -source http://go-pear.org | php
