The port=20 itself does that, by being marked as FORBIDDEN in the Makefile, because it=20 has a vulnerability. You can configure portaudit to ignore the vulnerability in that port, but=20 that won't solve the problem of trying to install the port. To install the = port you must either update the port (if it's out of date) or install it=20 using DISABLE_VULNERABILITIES=3Dyes when you make the port.
