Read carefully. What is the first dependency type? "Pear Installer" and the second? "Package" How do they differ? When i begun, like others maintainers, i've created a package xml 1.0 because PEAR 1.4.x didn't yet exists.

I make PEAR package optional but requires at least version >= 1.3.5 Now with package xml 2.0 , even if PEAR package is still optional, when you try to install Progress2 with a PEAR 1.4.x version what's happens. PEAR installer see that you MUST have at least PEAR 1.4.3, so dependency to package (version 1.3.5) begin unuseless. Hope my explains are now better. Laurent
