This bug has been fixed in CVS. In case this was a documentation problem, the fix will show up at the end of next Sunday (CET) on pear.php.net. In case this was a pear.php.net website problem, the change will show up on the website in short time. Thank you for the report, and for helping us make PEAR better. I really wish I could do a new release of this. Started a rewrite but I've bene in 12 months of work hell. I package a new release to sort out this bug and dependency.
