+Many of the pear packages require to have the pear-cahnnel installed. Most of 
+the horde require it. It's not installing a package.
+We are not the only one, fedora folks do it too:
+http://nb.fedorapeople.org/horde-reviews/php-horde-Horde-Http.spec
+
+BuildRequires:  php-channel(pear.horde.org)
+
+installing this package needs to add pear-channel-horde. If it doesn't the 
+package doesn't build.
+They do not even use a pearized specification.
