>Description:
I think I found an error in one of the periodic security pkg scripts: /usr/local/etc/periodic/security/410.pkg-audit

the awk expression to set PKG_DBDIR variable is
awk -F: '$1 ~ /PKG_DBDIR$/ { print $2 }'

this does not work because the line is as
PKG_DBDIR: /.../....

so the variable PKG_DBDIR is " /.../..."
there is a space at the beginning of the script.

next the stat command failed because of the space
stat -f %m " /.../...."

>How-To-Repeat:
you can run :

sh -f -x /usr/local/etc/periodic/security/410.pkg-audit
>Fix:
I suggest the following modification:

awk -F ': ' '$1 ~ /PKG_DBDIR$/ { print $2 }'
