1. Have just installed Plugin Manager, and am looking through its new Admin pages. On selecting Search and clicking the link "The repository is out of date. Update it by clicking here", I get a PHP error message:

Fatal error: Class 'XMLReader' not found in /mydir/sites/all/modules/plugin_manager/plugin_manager.module on line 348

2. It is also not clear what "The repository" is referring to.

The PHP error you are referring to means that your installation of PHP was not compiled with xmlreader support.
If you maintain it yourself, you can easily fix this by recompiling.

Thanks for that. Be nice if the Plugin Manager could test for xmlreader support itself, and issue an informative warning message, with an indication on how it can be solved, rather than resorting to a fatal PHP error.

I was able to fix this problem in my Fedora 13 box by running 

yum -y install php-xml php-xmlrpc
