Deja vu. I've had a similar experience when upgrading my horde  
installation. I can't say for sure what the cause is, but I have  
strong suspicions. When installing, the installer writes the value for  
the "horde dir" in a config file. It writes it in the home dir. If you  
install using sudo that home dir is different than if you install  
using root. When one does an upgrade or installs added programs there  
is normally no need to redo that particular step in the installation,  
but without that info strange things happen (my php files  
"disappeared"). If the same happened to you, look in your  
/usr/share/php/www/horde dir and you will see everything installed  
there.

My solution was to copy the config file to my root dir, so that it  
existed both in my user's home dir and the /root dir. Just because I  
forget how I did the last install.

Anyway, just wanted to let you know you aren't the only one that has  
experienced this.
