XML errors in package categories

About a week ago I installed PEAR on my site (using this), including the PEAR Frontend Web interface for installing packages (Webbased PEAR Package Manager).

However, clicking links in the "list all categories" section, I keep getting XML errors. Some links work fine (such as PHP, Streams, and others), producing a list of packages within that category. But a large number instead return errors such as the following:

Code:

Invalid xml downloaded from "(URL address blocked: See forum rules)": XML Error: 'xml declaration not at start of external entity' on line '8'

Code:

Invalid xml downloaded from "(URL address blocked: See forum rules)": XML Error: 'xml declaration not at start of external entity' on line '558'

Code:

Invalid xml downloaded from "(URL address blocked: See forum rules)": XML Error: 'xml declaration not at start of external entity' on line '841'

Code:

Invalid xml downloaded from "(URL address blocked: See forum rules)": XML Error: 'xml declaration not at start of external entity' on line '270'

These are just 4 examples of a total 14 categories returning similar errors. I assume there is something wrong with my setup, otherwise this would obviously be a widescale disaster, but I have uninstalled and reinstalled PEAR to no avail. I am very new to PEAR, so can anyone please tell me what I've done wrong?

Edit: Sorry, the URLs have been blocked in my post. As an example, the first one refers to "pear.php.net/rest/c/Authentication/packagesinfo.xml" - hopefully this survives the cut...
