>Description:
Installs fail when a remote package has remote dependencies.  
When a remote dependency is encountered, the file is downloaded via ftp, and treated like a local file.  When its dependencies are processed, they appear to originate in a local file, and the remote link is not checked for packages, causing the install to fail.  The remote does propogate to the first level dependency, but is lost after that.
>How-To-Repeat:
Install any package that has a missing dependency, where that package also has missing dependencies, and all are located on the ftp site.  i.e.  wrapper depends on postgresql-7.2.1_1.  postgresql in turn has a dependency to db3-...  All files are remote.  pkg_add -r wrapper finds wrapper, sees the postgres dependency, finds that, bt only looks for the db3 file locally.
