Description:
------------
Version 1.3b3

When trying to install the SOAP package which is in beta state, I get an error:

test:~# pear install SOAP
No release with state equal to: 'stable' found for 'SOAP'
test:~#

When trying to use -f to force installation of the beta package, I get an error:
test:~# pear install -f SOAP
No release with state equal to: 'stable' found for 'SOAP'
test:~#

When trying to install the package by specifying the URL to the package, I get an error:
test:~# pear install "http://pear.php.net/get/SOAP-0.8RC2.tgz"
Package name 'http://pear.php.net/get/SOAP-0.8RC2.tgz' not valid
test:~#

All of the above worked with older versions of PEAR.

How can I install a beta package?
