Hi,
'portaudit' software has marked the python ports as having a
vulnerability and marked them as broken.
This is the output I get when I run portaudit -Fda:
# portaudit -Fda
auditfile.tbz 100% of 73 kB 117 kBps
New database installed.
Database created: Wed Feb 15 15:20:00 UTC 2012
Affected package: python27-2.7.2_3
Type of problem: Python -- DoS via malformed XML-RPC / HTTP POST request.
Reference:
http://portaudit.FreeBSD.org/b4f8be9e-56b2-11e1-9fb7-003067b2972c.html
1 problem(s) in your installed packages found.
You are advised to update or deinstall the affected package(s) immediately.
----
So, when I cd to /usr/ports/lang/python27, do a 'make deinstall' and then do
a 'make reinstall', it would not install again. I get a message that I
have to update the ports to re-install. I've tried 'portsnap fetch
update' but there is no update for the python port. As I mentioned
above, the only way to force a re-install of the SAME port is to
remove 'portaudit' and then comment the 'BROKEN' line in the Makefile
(in the /usr/ports/lang/python27 directory).
Thanks,
Krishna.
