This can happen if the upstream site (and mirrors) removes the tarball before it gets mirrored onto the master (opendarwin) site. I got bitten this way by pkg-order, which has apparently been purged by Debian.

And http://cvs.debian.org/debian-cd/Attic/pkg-order makes interesting reading.

"Hi,
I have asked pkg-order to be removed from the distribution.
The reasons for this were many:
a) This no longer scratches an itch that I have. This is reflected
in the fact that there have been grave bugs reported before
releasing potato that have not been solved; and there has been
no updates since July 2000.
b) This package was meant top be a library package; and that seems
to have been a dismal failure. Apart from the few example
scripts distributed with the libs, nothing was ever built on top
of it
c) Reading the Status file is a kludgey way to do what this package
does
d) dpkg and apt have evolved since the package was written; and,
really, in order to not have to track stuff like that this
package needs be rewritten in terms of libapt
e) This needs to be redone in C++ or something.
f) Some of the motivation of this package is already addressed by
modern apt capabilities.Thanks for your interest in pkg order
