Phing won't install using Pear

[brad at easyspeak dot com dot au]

I've been trying to install Phing using "pear install phing/phing" but I keep getting the following error:

downloading phing-2.3.0beta1.tgz ... Starting to download phing-2.3.0beta1.tgz (397,990 bytes) .................................................................................done: 397,990 bytes could not extract the package.xml file from "/tmp/pear/cache/phing-2.3.0beta1.tgz" Invalid checksum for file "<?php /*

• THIS SOFTWARE IS " : 34073 calculated, 0 expected Download of "phing/phing" succeeded, but it is not a valid package archive

Error: cannot download "phing/phing"

I am using "pear config-set preferred_state stable" but it still downloads the beta version.

I believe this issue has been resolved. Please comment if not. Certainly it has been working to install Phing via PEAR. Maybe an error in PEAR on your system?
