freebsd security - Nov 2005 - What happened with portaudit?

Hello,

One of my machines I got a report about 3 vulnerable packages (php4, 
ruby, openssl) in tomorrows security run output, but in today's security 
run output all of them disappeared, but nobody upgraded or removed the 
affected packages. I reinstalled portaudit, refreshd its database, but 
now it reports 0 affected pakages. The pkg_info command lists that three 
packages, so they are still installed. Does anybody suspect what's wrong?

Cheers,

Gabor Kovesdan

I noticed the same, but didn't had the time to look for a possible
answer on that question.

Hi,

I had the same problem and it persists from 4 day ago until today.

As a reference:
$> ls -l /var/db/portaudit/auditfile.tbz
-r--r--r--  1 root  wheel  31754  7 nov 02:40
/var/db/portaudit/auditfile.tbz

Isn't portaudit too important to have such problems? This is the second
failure in between 6 weeks.
