Either that, or use the "-d preferred_state=beta" flag when calling  
PEAR to not set this option permanently.

But actually this shouldn't be necessary at all. You might get the  
warning from above, but if you correctly specified the -beta suffix  
when installing horde, the installation should still continue and pull  
in all dependencies. The -beta tag tells PEAR that beta versions are  
fine for this run.
