That is a different issue.

You have chosen to install pecl/ssh2 on your system already, so you  
have implicitly accepted the beta state of that particular package.

You either need to remove ssh2, upgrade just ssh2 (recommended), or  
allow beta-level packages site-wide (not recommended).

In short, PEAR is correctly preventing you from upgrading in your  
situation based on your prior installation decisions.
