Description:
------------
pear upgrade -R /home/virtual/sitename/ PEAR

We have a dedicated server that uses separate pear installations.
PEAR 1.3.6 - PEAR 1.4.2
As root, I ran pear upgrade-all - fine.

I then needed to upgrade various packages for each website that runs it's own pear packages, but I have to do these as root.

I usually run pear upgrade -R /home/virtual/sitename PACKAGE

I did this for the PEAR package, but the installation failed and it resulted in the root version of pear being deleted.

Test script:
---------------
[root@pants root]pear list-upgrades
Available Upgrades (stable):
============================

XML_RPC 1.4.2 (stable) 1.4.4 (stable) 24kB

[root@pants root]pear upgrade -R /home/virtual/sitename/ PEAR

Expected result:
----------------
upgrading ...

Actual result:
--------------
