            Bug ID: 284053
           Summary: ports-mgmt/portupgrade: Installs insecure
                    databases/db5 as a dependency
           Product: Ports & Packages
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Some People
          Priority: ---
         Component: Individual Port(s)
          Assignee: ports-bugs@FreeBSD.org

On a clean install of 14.2-RELEASE (subsequently updated to 14.2-stable)
building the ports-mgmt/portupgrade" package also installs databases/db5 as=
 a
dependency.

As the nightly security report then (correctly) points out:

      Checking for packages with security vulnerabilities:
      db5-5.3.28_9: Tag: expiration_date Value: 2022-06-30
      db5-5.3.28_9: Tag: deprecated Value: EOLd, potential security issues,
maybe usedb18 instead

  The planned removal date for db5 was nearly two and a half years ago.
Presumably it is still in the ports tree. But it seems rather important to =
not
have one of our main tools for ports management (at least for those who bui=
ld
from source) still using it.
