https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D230986 --- Comment #8 from rkoberman@gmail.com --- (In reply to Jason W. Bacon from comment #6) Your point is valid, but this is the wrong forum as the problem is the packaging system. It expects to install a package on a system that has the exact versions of all dependencies that were used to build the package. Thi= s is important as it assures that there will be no differences that might impact= the performance of the package. and, of course, the packaging system assumes th= at the latest default dependencies are used. In the case of linux packages, that means c6 for 10 and 11. It seems likely that c7 might become the default at come point, hopefully in the near futur= e. Until that happens, I can't see any resolution of this problem. For me it w= ould mean using c6 and at least two ports that have vulnerabilities that I was informed were unlikely to be fixed in c6. (That was as of at least a year a= go, so may be no longer true.) Sorry, but I don't think that there is a solution available. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
