Dear Maintainer,

This package seem not compatible with the PHP 8.2 version included in
Debian Bookworn. I have the following PHP Fatal error when including the
/usr/share/php/Net/FTP.php file:

PHP Fatal error:  Array and string offset access syntax with curly braces
is no longer supported in /usr/share/php/Net/FTP.php on line 1181

This problem could be quickly fixed:

https://github.com/pear/Net_FTP/pull/9/commits/b8d35f51815619460daa67bbed67dda3f96ed1b5

Furthermore, we have PHP warnings about the $case_insensitive parameter
of define function:

PHP Warning:  define(): Argument #3 ($case_insensitive) is ignored since declaration of case-insensitive constants is no longer supported in /usr/share/php/Net/FTP.php on line 34
PHP Warning:  define(): Argument #3 ($case_insensitive) is ignored since declaration of case-insensitive constants is no longer supported in /usr/share/php/Net/FTP.php on line 43
PHP Warning:  define(): Argument #3 ($case_insensitive) is ignored since declaration of case-insensitive constants is no longer supported in /usr/share/php/Net/FTP.php on line 52
PHP Warning:  define(): Argument #3 ($case_insensitive) is ignored since declaration of case-insensitive constants is no longer supported in /usr/share/php/Net/FTP.php on line 61
PHP Warning:  define(): Argument #3 ($case_insensitive) is ignored since declaration of case-insensitive constants is no longer supported in /usr/share/php/Net/FTP.php on line 71
PHP Warning:  define(): Argument #3 ($case_insensitive) is ignored since declaration of case-insensitive constants is no longer supported in /usr/share/php/Net/FTP.php on line 83

This could be also quickly fixed:

Hi Benjamin,

Thank you for the report, and apologies nobody came back to you sooner.

Also, this package has no reverse dependencies. Given the amount of care
it brought in the last few years, I believe it should be removed from
the archive. Bumping the severity to see it removed from testing ASAP,
maybe it should also be removed from (at least) Bookworm.

I intend to follow up with RM requests in a few months if nobody objects
(but feel free to beat me to it).

Regards

David

Thanks for return. I removed my dependencies on this package since I
discovered this problem. So, for me, feel free to remove this package, I
don't use it anymore :)

Freely,
