There has been a security breach on the pear.php.net server and the  
channel has been taken offline as a result. If you're doing a new  
installation, chances are that you'll need a number of packages from  
that channel.

See https://twitter.com/pear to see what has gone wrong and what you  
can do in the mean time if you can't wait until the service is restored.
