Fatal error: Class 'Console_Table' not found in /var/aegir/drush/includes/drush.inc on line 545

You put table.php in /var/aegir/drush, but drush wants it in /var/aegir/drush/includes. Drush should download this file automatically if it does not exist, but perhaps you are running drush as a user who does not have write access to the drush installation directory. Move table.php to includes, and you should be fine.

Starting with a brand new install of Ubuntu in a virtual machine, I'm running into this error as well.

Well, I'm actually installing aegir through install.sh.txt, but it's the same error.

install the php pear extension

# pear install Console_Table

One way or another, you need to get this file. It is possible that Aegir is not helping you here. It needs to get this file before locking down the drush dir with file perms.

Moshe, you dont understand.

The location of this file has changed.
This isnt killing aegir installs, it is killing ALL drush installs.

the url we have hard coded here : http://drupalcode.org/viewvc/drupal/contributions/modules/drush/includes...

has changed from http://cvs.php.net/viewvc.cgi/pear/Console_Table/Table.php?revision=1.28...

to http://svn.php.net/viewvc/pear/packages/Console_Table/trunk/Table.php?re...

Because php.net has switched from CVS to SVN.

This means we need to change this, and make a new release, or _ALL_ new drush installs are broken.

i am opening a new issue for this.

I downloaded stable Drush this AM and got this same error. It only worked when I created table.inc, and included the code from the SVN link above. I haven't had to do this before.

Is this something developers will have to do now and get the file on their own?

Opening just for clarification..

See #875192: new drush installs broken due to php.net moving to subversion

Thanks.

Just fyi, a fresh download of the current release had the same problem on a rackspace CentOS box.
"pear install Console_Table" fixed the problem.

pear install Console_Table just created an empty table.inc file for me. I still had to copy the contents of the svn repo link above.

Just an update, I had to do the same as Emmajane and the others this morning. Paste the code in the 'empty' table.inc

Same behavior on Ubuntu where running pear install Console_Table created an empty table.inc in the drush/includes folder. Then I manually copied the contents from this link http://svn.php.net/viewvc/pear/packages/Console_Table/trunk/Table.php?re... (as mentioned above) into table.inc in order for drush pm-list to work.

So the drush-7.x-4.5.tar download is still broken even after almost a year.

Had this problem with drush self-update from 4.4 to 5.x. The file ownership needed to be changed to the root user (in my case) in order to execute or it throws the above error.

I also faced this error and finally came to the conclusion that the above problem comes when we have installed a older version. Installing a new version ie 7.x-5.4 solves the problem.
Thanks
