As it has already been suggested, it may be that you missed some
dependencies. I'll equip you with my (dirtily hacked) pkg_download
script so you can be sure to have all the dependencies. You can
delete the -n option if you wish to download AND install the
packages. The default behaviour is to fetch them only. (Original
intention: Download package and dependencies on system A with
Internet access, copy the result to system B without Internet
access, and then install them there.)

	echo "$1.tbz already there"
	exit 1

pkg_add -fKnrv $1 > $1.txt 2>&1
# -f = force, -K = keep, -n = no install, -r = remote, -v = verbose

echo "done"

for DEP in `cat $1.txt | grep $1 | grep "depends on" | cut -d "'" -f 6 | cut -d "/" -f 2`; do
	echo "dependency for $1 is ${DEP}"
	$0 ${DEP}
done

rm $1.txt

exit 0
