Solved p5-Net-SMTP-SSL-1.04 (Solved)

[Aknot]

Hello,

I'm getting this notice each night from the "daily security run output", and I have no clue how to upgrade them/change to Net::SMTP?

Checking for packages with security vulnerabilities:
p5-Net-SMTP-SSL-1.04: Tag: expiration_date Value: 2017-03-31
p5-Net-SMTP-SSL-1.04: Tag: deprecated Value: Deprecated by upstream, use Net::SMTP instead

Simplest solution; pkg delete p5-Net-SMTP-SSL; pkg install p5-Net-SMTPS. Note however that the delete action may delete packages that are depending on it. So keep an eye on that.

Note however that the delete action may delete packages that are depending on it...

If I run pkg info --dependencies p5-Net-SMTP-SSL

I'm getting this output:

[PORT]p5-IO-Socket-SSL-2.044[/PORT]
[PORT]perl5-5.24.1_1[/PORT]

Is that bad?

We have been using portmaster to install all our ports.

Those are packages that p5-Net-SMTP-SSL depends on, i.e. those are needed for p5-Net-SMTP-SSL. What you are looking for are packages that depend on p5-Net-SMTP-SSL: pkg info --required-by p5-Net-SMTP-SSL. These will be removed if you remove p5-Net-SMTP-SSL.
