I don't know how file = timestamps would revert to older dates, as I seemed to be finding.=20 This file is called out by postgrey when it bails on the taint error.=20 ls -l /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.14.2/mach/IO/Socket.pm=20 -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 13572 May 13 2009 = /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.14.2/mach/IO/Socket.pm If I remove the file, it then uses this one: ls -l /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.14.2/mach/IO/Socket.pm -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 13834 Mar 23 20:43 = /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.14.2/mach/IO/Socket.pm Then I discovered that first file doesn't actually belong to perl-5.14 = but to p5-IO-1.25.

Then I ran deinstall distclean reinstall against each of them. I see = that p5-IO isn't on that list, though I assume the p5-IO-* ports depend = on it.=20 If this is a b*rked install, it's very subtle.=20 postgrey will run against either of these two files, assuming they = exist. It defaults to the older one that had the May 13 2009 timestamp = but still bails with the taint error if you choose to run with a port = but will run with the socket option.
