Hi, Bruno.
As Björn points out, cross-toolshed dependencies aren't currently supported but exporting (eg) package_r_3_1_1 as a capsule (make sure to include ALL dependencies) from one toolshed and importing that capsule into your own local toolshed brings all the sub-dependent packages so they exist locally. One trick: if the toolshed URL is NOT specified in a package reference in tool_dependencies.xml, the local toolshed will be sourced as the default. Not sure if this makes much sense, but it works for me developing on my laptop's toolshed with lots of packages that came through capsules from the main and other toolsheds.

Hi Bruno,

it is currently not possible to specify dependencies from other Tool
Sheds. So you can only depend on packages that are in the same Tool Shed
as your tool.

Is this your main issue?

Greg has some nice blog posts about the Tool Shed and how to set up a
local test Tool Shed with other packages, like the one from foobar.
