It stores the dependancies as a packages in the local package repository and unpacks it for each build. In fact, there is no need to install build dependancies on your local system, as it will *never* get used by synth, as synth uses a clean chroot'd environment for all its builds.

I would check: 1. did the packages get built, and are present in the local package repository. 2. what sort of error messages you are getting from just a "pkg install ${package}" from the local package repo.
