I believe there is a bit of confusion on the list. My assumption for why the OP wants to determine glibc dependencies is the vulnerability in gethostbyname. However, many people on the list seem to be looking for devel/glib dependencies. devel/glib in FreeBSD's ports is unrelated to glibc (take a peek at the pkg-info file for this port for more info). GLib is a component of GNOME: https://developer.gnome.org/glib/ The library that contains the glibc vulnerability is the GNU C Library: https://www.gnu.org/software/libc/ _______________________________________________ freebsd-security@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-security To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-security-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
