Yes, the post install script fails. Which means the command:
/usr/local/bin/pear install -r -n -f \
	/usr/local/share/pear/packages/pear-XML_Serializer-0.20.0/package.xml 

fails. Why, I don't know, perhaps you can add -v to the above command and see 
if anything useful is printed. In the meantime, I'll try to reproduce it.
