In absence of suggestions otherwise I have copied contents of the  
/usr/share/pear/data folder to /usr/share/pear-data, i.e. what the  
pear version change said it was going to do. This appears to have  
resolved Horde's concern about not being able to see its data dir  
contents.

So at this stage everything seems to be pointing to  
/usr/share/pear-data, including pear upgrades as they happen...  
hopefully this has resolved it - if anyone is aware that this is going  
to break something else please let me know!

Simon.
