And NOW have a look on PEAR package dependencies. Do you see, what i see ? * with package 1.0
   No        Package PEAR                      >=       1.3.5
* with package 2.0
   Yes       Pear Installer                          (version >= 1.4.3)
   No        Package        pear/PEAR                (version >= 1.3.5)

To make a long story short, you need pear-1.4.3+ to use package*2*.xml. That's why it makes the 2nd optional, it defines that it is actually what the package requires. Tricky, but I do not think there is many more options. --Pierre
