Unable to install PEAR

[Roger Merritt]

I was getting errors trying to portupgrade PEAR, so I did a pkg_deinstall 
and then ran portinstall. The following is the last part of what I get:

>warning: pear/PEAR requires package "pear/Archive_Tar" (version >= 1.3.1)
>warning: pear/PEAR requires package "pear/Console_Getopt" (version >= 1.2)

I've looked through UPDATING and don't find anything suggestive. Any ideas? 
Or should this be sent either to the ports mailing list or to the maintainer?
