AFFECTS: users of security/gnutls and any port that depends on it
AUTHOR: [email protected]
gnutls has been updated to 2.12.6.1 and all shared libraries' versions
have
been bumped. So you need to rebuild all applications that depend on
gnutls. Do something like:
portupgrade -rf gnutls
portmaster -r gnutls
-----------------------------------------------------------
"pkg_info -Rx gnutls" shows that gnutls is required by 92 of my
installed ports so before running "portmaster -a" I duly
ran "portmaster -r gnutls". This ran without any errors but only 4
ports were updated...
curlew:/root# portmaster -r gnutls
[snip]
===>>> Done displaying pkg-message files
The following actions were performed:
Re-installation of GeoIP-1.4.7
Upgrade of python26-2.6.6_1 to python26-2.6.7
Upgrade of gnutls-2.8.6_2 to gnutls-2.12.6.1_1
Upgrade of wireshark-1.4.6 to wireshark-1.4.7_1
curlew:/root#
Should I worry about this huge discrepancy? I haven't got round to
running "portmaster -a" yet and I haven't come across any problems so
far, apart from having to add an entry for libgnutls.so.40
in /etc/libmap.conf to keep cups happy.
"pkg_version -vL=" shows that 70 ports are due for updating, only some
of these depend on gnutls so even after running "portmaster -a" there
will be a considerable number of ports depending on gnutls which will
not have been updated.
