Hello portmaster users,
If portaudit shows that some installed packages have vulnerabilities,
what do you usually do?
Greatly depend on where am I. All my systems are staying up-to-date
whereas when I'm visiting someones system I prefer to update only
required pieces of software. Anyway if you tell portmaster to update
port x it would try to update all ports it depends on.
Do you upgrade only the vulnerable packages, or vulnerable packages
and dependent packages (portmaster -r), or perhaps all packages
(portmaster -a)? Or do you "pkg_delete -a" all packages first and then
reinstall from scratch (from `portmaster --list-origins` perhaps)?
I am a bit uneasy about "portmaster -a" because, for example, in the
output below it intends to install a package which is already
installed:
pg01-sibptus# portmaster -n -a

pg01-sibptus#
pg01-sibptus# pkg_info -xo openldap
Information for openldap-sasl-client-2.4.24:
Origin:
net/openldap24-client
As far as I recall there was some glitches with correct detection of
openldap24-client presence (some symbols moving around or so). Generally
I never pay attention to this glitches and when (or if) update process
fails I try to recompile mentioned port with portmaster. Then update
process can be continued with `portmaster -a`.
The better way of debugging such problems for me is pkg_libchk from
sysutils/bsdadminscripts.
