  AFFECTS: users of security/gnutls and any port that depends on it
  AUTHOR: novel@FreeBSD.org

  gnutls has been updated to 2.12.6.1 and all shared libraries' versions=20
have
  been bumped. So you need to rebuild all applications that depend on
  gnutls. Do something like:

	portupgrade -rf gnutls
	portmaster -r gnutls
=2D----------------------------------------------------------

"pkg_info -Rx gnutls" shows that gnutls is required by 92 of my=20
installed ports so before running "portmaster -a" I duly=20
ran "portmaster -r gnutls". This ran without any errors but only 4=20
ports were updated...

curlew:/root# portmaster -r gnutls

=3D=3D=3D>>> 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

Should I worry about this huge discrepancy? I haven't got round to=20
running "portmaster -a" yet and I haven't come across any problems so=20
far, apart from having to add an entry for libgnutls.so.40=20
in /etc/libmap.conf to keep cups happy.

"pkg_version -vL=3D" shows that 70 ports are due for updating, only some=20
of these depend on gnutls so even after running "portmaster -a" there=20
will be a considerable number of ports depending on gnutls which will=20
not have been updated.
