pear --force not recognised

Question

I'm trying to correct a Notice: Non-static method issue I'm having with pear XML_Util.

Notice: Non-static method XML_Util::attributesToString() should not be called statically, assuming $this from incompatible context in /Users/leighgrigaliunas/Documents/Websites/schoolhours-apiimport-v3/system/ext/XML/Util.php on line 518

I know they're not errors as such, but I'd like to get rid of them if possible before cutting the code live.

I thought using XML_Util2 might correct it, however now I am stuck because I can't force the uninstall of XML_Util. Console_Getopt is stating that -f or --force is not recognised. I then tried to update Console_Getopt (it's deprecated apparently) to Console_GetoptPlus, but I'm stuck again because I can't uninstall Console_Getopt.

I'm new at this, but I'll try to describe my environment as best I can

MAMP PRO version 3.0.7.3 on OSX 10.10 PHP 5.4.34 Pear 1.9.5 (all packages/channels up to date)

Do I need to provide anything further to get assistance? I've googled the heck out of this and can't get past it. Please help!

It's not called --force for the uninstall command:

$ pear help uninstall
...
--ignore-errors
    force install even if there were errors
