Description Thomas Steen Rasmussen / Tykling 2020-12-24 22:46:21 UTC 
Hello

After upgrading pkg to 1.16 all my monitoring for vulnerable packages started making noise.

Before pkg 1.16 "pkg audit -q" would not output anything if no packages were vulnerable, and would output one line per vulnerable package otherwise. I use this in a simple script to keep an eye on things.

After pkg 1.16 it outputs the string "(null)" to stdout when no vulnerable packages are installed, meaning my monitoring now says that I have 1 vulnerable package everywhere :)
