ubuntu phpunit pear

I've got a fresh copy of PHPUnit installed on my system (Ubuntu 11), but whenever I type phpunit in the console I get the following error:

PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined method PHP_CodeCoverage_Filter::getInstance() in /usr/bin/phpunit on line 39

I have PHPUnit's code coverage installed, as far as I know:

>sudo pear install phpunit/PHP_CodeCoverage

phpunit/PHP_CodeCoverage is already installed and is the same as the released version 1.1.1

install failed

Why am I getting this error and how can I fix it?

Ubuntu 11.10 has had an issue for a while that hasn't been fixed. This is the only thing that will get phpunit to work with pear. (Outside of using pear you can look up a way to do it without pear. There is an article online about that but I wouldn't want that kind of burden to do it manually). This is the only thing that worked for me:

sudo apt-get remove phpunit

sudo pear channel-discover pear.phpunit.de

sudo pear channel-discover pear.symfony-project.com

sudo pear channel-discover components.ez.no

sudo pear update-channels

sudo pear upgrade-all

sudo pear install --alldeps phpunit/PHPUnit

sudo pear install --force --alldeps phpunit/PHPUnit
