Some more:
[root@ancilla pear-core]# pear -d preferred_state=alpha list-upgrades
pear.php.net Available Upgrades (alpha, beta, stable):
========================================

Skipping package "pear/Net_NNTP", already installed as version 1.1.2
No valid packages found
upgrade failed
The Archive_Zip (Archive_Tar) were seemingly abandoned or forgot, but
Vincent Blavet (attention not the Lascaux one :) ) did privately some
more releases.
I don't know him but I intend to personaly phone him if noone here has
contacts.
A new case just reported in IRC: (thanks Elan Ruusamäe aka glen)
[root@ancilla pear-core]# pear install Image_Remote-beta
File http://pear.php.net:80/rest/r/image_remote/1.0.xml not valid
(received: HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found
)
Cannot initialize 'Image_Remote-beta', invalid or missing package file
Package "Image_Remote-beta" is not valid
install failed
[root@ancilla ~]# pear install Image_Remote-1.0.tgz
Unable to open /tmp/tmpKnZ1u3/package.xml
Cannot initialize 'Image_Remote-1.0.tgz', invalid or missing package file
Package "Image_Remote-1.0.tgz" is not valid
install failed
[root@ancilla Image_Remote]# tar xvzf ../Image_Remote-1.0.tgz
Image_Remote-1.0
Image_Remote-1.0/Remote.php
Image_Remote-1.0/package.xml
[root@ancilla Image_Remote]# cd Image_Remote-1.0/
[root@ancilla Image_Remote-1.0]# pear install package.xml
install ok: channel://pear.php.net/Image_Remote-1.0
Funny effect, perhaps due to old version numbering.
Sorry for this long spam :)
