And that was a lot of quoting for a post that only shows you are running in 
pedantic mode.
But let me clarify for the joyful moment that the next poor soul bitten by 
this issue searches the list archive:
- there is no available upgrade from upstream
- port maintainer does not have the time/resources to repack the rpm without 
the vulnerability
- if/when an rpm has been found that is not vulnerable, the port will be 
updated.
- the time frame for the above ranges from the near to the infinite future.
- users are encouraged to use their covert channels into the penguin world to 
inquire about fc4 compatible non-vulnerable rpm's for the pango software and 
relay this information to the hard working port maintainer if such has been 
located.
