>Description:
pkg_add -r foobar generates:

pkg_add: package 'foobar-version' or its older version already installed
pkg_add: pkg_add of dependency `foobar-version' failed!

error messages for package dependencies having a version newer
than any installed version of the package. The main package
install proceedure continues anyway, but then eventually generates:

pkg_add: could not find package foobar-version !

at the end of the package dependency installation list. Obviously,
this results in failure of the entire pkg_install process.

Note: src/usr.sbin/pkg_install was cvsup-ed on 30 Aug 02 and
make install successfully.

>How-To-Repeat:
pkg_add -r a package that has dependencies for which older
version(s) are already installed on the target system.
