My knife seems to not be alerting about missing dependencies?

# grep depends cookbooks/rew\_idxdb/metadata.rb

depends ‘apache2’

# knife cookbook upload rew\_idxdb

Uploading rew\_idxdb [0.1.0]  
Uploaded 1 cookbook.

This is a fresh setup, so none on the dependencies exist on the server  
already.

Normally I get an error like

ERROR: Cookbook rew\_idxdb depends on cookbook ‘apache2’ version ‘\>= 0.0.0’,  
ERROR: which is not currently being uploaded and cannot be found on the  
server.

Why am I not getting this error now?
