The 12.10 install deleted almost everything I had already installed on my system so I am forced to manually reinstall everything! I am at the point of trying to recover the software configuration I had for my Apache server and I cannot get the system to reinstall the MYSql driver for the PEAR MDB2 module:
sudo pear install MDB2_Driver_Mysql
pear/MDB2_Driver_mysql requires PHP extension "mysql"
No valid packages found
install failed
sudo pear install MDB2_Driver_Mysql
pear/MDB2_Driver_mysql requires PHP extension "mysql"
No valid packages found
install failed
