            Description

            Singletons seems to be deprecated these days, see [1].

            This issue came to my attention when I tried to run CiviCRM on Debian Jessie with newer version of PHP-PEAR installed to system which produced the following error:

            ~~~~
            Deprecated: Non-static method PEAR_ErrorStack::singleton() should not be called statically, assuming $this from incompatible context in /usr/share/civicrm/packages/PEAR/ErrorStack.php on line 983

            Fatal error: Cannot make non static method PEAR_ErrorStack::singleton() static in class CRM_Core_Error in /usr/share/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/civicrm/civicrm/CRM/Core/Error.php on line 73
            ~~~~

            I am illiterate in PHP so I may not have described the issue properly.
