Only when you're adding packages locally. Here's what happens when you buil= d=20 packages of gmake & dependencies with your bpm-patch and then try to pkg_ad= d=20 =2Dr them: [lofi@kdeprison5]:1:/usr/ports > env=20 PACKAGESITE=3Dhttp://people.freebsd.org/~lofi/reduced-dep-packages/Latest/ = sudo=20 pkg_add -r gmake =46etching=20 http://people.freebsd.org/~lofi/reduced-dep-packages/Latest/gmake.tbz...=20 Done. =46etching=20 http://people.freebsd.org/~lofi/reduced-dep-packages/All/gettext-0.14.1.tbz= =2E..=20 Done. pkg_add: could not find package libiconv-1.9.2_1 ! pkg_add: pkg_add of dependency 'gettext-0.14.1' failed!
