it seems that package.xml is in wrong place in the tarball. recreating tarball having package.xml in toplevel, the error is gone.

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. Release 1.0.1 fixes the issue.
