I just ran a system update and got the following warning... |

!!! The following installed packages are masked: |
| 4 |
- sys-devel/automake-1.9.6-r5::gentoo (masked by: package.mask) |

/usr/portage/profiles/package.mask: |

# Andreas K. Hüttel <dilfridge@g.o> (2017-10-18) |

# sys-devel/automake versions 1.4, 1.5, 1.6, 1.7, 1.8 |
| 8 |
# have known security vulnerabilities, are broken with |

# recent Perl (>=5.26.0), and are not used by anything in |

1) It says that 1.4-to-1.8 have problems. So why is 1.9.6-r5 masked? |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
2) It says that no apps use 1.9.6-r5, but... |

* These packages depend on sys-devel/automake-1.9.6-r5: |
| 18 |
mail-mta/ssmtp-2.64-r3 (sys-devel/automake) |
| 19 |
net-misc/openrdate-1.2 (=sys-devel/automake-1.9*) |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
ssmtp would probably be OK with a higher version, but openrdate |
| 22 |
specifically wants automake-1.9*. The next version upwards in |
| 23 |
/usr/portage/sys-devel/automake is 1.10.3-r3 |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
I currently have 1.9.6-r5 and 1.15.1-r2 and 1.16.1-r1 installed. |
