>Description:
the package security/audit-packages uses a vulnerability list
stored in /usr/pkgsrc/distfiles/ (or wherever that exapnds to).
this is a problem on machines that are installed from binary
packages and don't have /usr/pkgsrc.
i suggest using /var/db/pkg instead of /usr/pkgsrc/distfiles for the
location to cache the vulnerabilities list
>How-To-Repeat:
>Fix:
hack the package to use /var/db/pkg instead of
/usr/pkgsrc/distfiles ?
