Sorry, justin, I hooked on the "force" verb,
You never talked about forcing pear, which is evil.

I said

a name package-alpha or package-version acts only for this package
option -d preferred_state=alpha is valid within the current pear
command, not changing conf.
a --force forces anything , that is evil

best command is still
# pear help
# pear help install
....
