No, I didn't update from an older checkout. I got another installation of
horde (other directory, other server) and compared the two conf.xml files of
the /horde/config directory. I thought that there must be an error with this
configuration file. And I saw that the new conf.xml (v 1.87) isn't the same
as the conf.xml (v 1.74) of the other installation. Especially at the
Database configtab section!

I solved this problem, by replacing

 <configtab name="sql" desc="Database">
  <configsection name="sql">
   <configheader>Horde Database Settings</configheader>
   <configsql switchname="phptype" baseconfig="true" />
  </configsection>
</configtab>

with 

<configtab name="sql" desc="Database">
  <configsection name="sql">
   <configheader>Horde Database Settings</configheader>
   <configenum name="phptype" desc="If Horde uses a database, which database
backend are we using? If you are not using a database for anything, you can
ignore this entire section.">mysql

and the setup of the current CVS snapshot worked! Thanks for your help and
tipps!
