Poudriere erased my system

[Jerry]

FreeBSD 11.3-RELEASE-p5 amd64

Well, another day, another ordeal. “poudriere’ hosed my system.

I started out by making the changes to the make.conf file required for
“openssl”. I double-checked, and that appeared correct. I then ran
‘poudriere’ to update my system. Then the shit hit the fan. “Poudriere”
proceeded to delete virtually every major application on my machine,
and a few minor ones, AND then refused to install them for me manually.
I lost 1) postfix, 2) dovecot 3) kde5 4) gnupg, etcetera. It also
removed MySQL-80 from the system. Naturally, it refused to reinstall it
again. Apparently, there is a vulnerability and poudriere simply
refused to build it and removes everything that depends on it sans
warning. THAT SUCKS!

I had to manually rebuild my system, including using: make
DISABLE_VULNERABILITIES=yes to get MySQL built.

I am also getting these friendly warnings regarding openssl:

/usr/local/lib/claws-mail/plugins/pgpcore.so is linked to
/usr/local/lib/libcrypto.so.11 from security/openssl but it is not
declared as a dependency

Error: /usr/local/lib/mysql/plugin/authentication_ldap_sasl_client.so
is linked to /usr/local/lib/libsasl2.so.3 from security/cyrus-sasl2 but
it is not declared as a dependency Warning: you need
LIB_DEPENDS+=libsasl2.so:security/cyrus-sasl2

There are lots more; that is just a sampling.

I am not sure why MySQL80 has not been updated. There is a newer
version available.

Poudriere should not just wipe-out a system without at least asking for
permission first. A friendly warning message like: “YOUR SYSTEM IS
ABOUT TO BE ERASED – DO YOU REALLY WANT TO DO THIS?” would be charming.

Anyway, how can I add the “DISABLE_VULNERABILITIES=yes” so poudriere
does not erase my system again? Please, do not tell me to update
FreeBSD to version 12. I can’t. There are at least two BUG reports
concerning this with no fix in sight. <
