Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not a bug. All of these packages use package-1.0 and have dependencies outside PEAR (or outside their respective servers). Ask them to release new versions and define channels dependencies if required.

The problem here is that phing is already installed, and for some reason, it is not recognizing this fact and skipping the download check. This is very weird

This bug has been fixed in CVS. If this was a documentation problem, the fix will appear on pear.php.net by the end of next Sunday (CET). If this was a problem with the pear.php.net website, the change should be live shortly. Otherwise, the fix will appear in the package's next release. Thank you for the report and for helping us make PEAR better.
