Ok, we have two dependency generators for php pear. One written in perl
and that one seem to work, and the second in php that seems to be
completely broken:

Runtime version 7.4.

First:

PHP Warning:  require_once(PHP/CompatInfo.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /usr/lib/rpm/php.req.php on line 123
PHP Fatal error:  require_once(): Failed opening required 'PHP/CompatInfo.php' (include_path='.:/usr/share/pear:/usr/share/php') in /usr/lib/rpm/php.req.php on line 123

After installing php-pear-PHP_CompatInfo:

PHP Parse error:  syntax error, unexpected 'new' (T_NEW) in /usr/share/pear/Event/Dispatcher.php on line 249

I'll reenable the old one and we'll deal with the problems as they
appear.
