I'm finding wonderful questions like Stale dependency: p5-Authen-SASL-2.09 -> p5-GSSAPI-0.24 (security/p5-GSSAPI= ): p5-Geography-Countries-1.4 (score:26%) ? ([y]es/[n]o/[a]ll) [no]=20 I must ask. How the hell am I supposed to know?? I build that as a dependen= cy of something that I built months ago. There's a good chance that I'll be simply guessing at all of the answers.=20 Is it really useful to run this if you can't remember? And why am I remembering anyway?
