Solved building vs installing a port via pkg - vulnerability question

[bu_mi]

When I try to make /usr/ports/devel/qt5-qmake I get an error message saying:

python37-3.7.9_1 has known vulnerabilities

and it doesn't build the port. But, I am able to do:

pkg install qt5-qmake

My question is how is the vulnerability addressed in the version installed using pkg install?

The default python should be python38. May be the package relies on python38, too.

<https://www.freshports.org/devel/qt5-qmake/#dependencies> lists python3.8.

Update your ports tree. If that does not resolve the issue, please provide additional information, including the exact version of FreeBSD.

Thanks! Updating the ports tree helped resolve my issues.
