I just find out the above only works if I have a package and its
dependencies all installed.

Is there a way that I can find the dependencies of a package that
I am about to install?
Say I downloaded packaged abc-123.tgz. I want to know what are
other packages (def-456.tgz, xyz-789.tgz, etc ...) that are required
by abc-123.tgz. So I can download the all the dependencies.

I just want to download only packages I need for a package so I can do
run pkg_add locally.

And I don't think the OBSD website lists dependencies of a given package.

TIA,
