Description phoffman 2014-09-01 16:45:31 UTC 
serf 1.3.6_1 has a new CVE, so I wanted to update it. However:

New packages to be INSTALLED:
	compat9x-amd64: 9.2.902000.201310
	mpfr: 3.1.2_2
	plexmediaserver-plexpass: 0.9.9.16.555
	mpc: 1.0.2
	gcc-ecj: 4.5
	binutils: 2.24
	gcc5: 5.0.s20140824

Installed packages to be UPGRADED:
	serf: 1.3.6_1 -> 1.3.7

The list of packages to install is absurd. None of those were needed for the last version of serf, and the inclusion of "plexmediaserver-plexpass" shows something has gone terribly wrong.

Adding serf maintainer to CC
Comment 2 John Marino freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2014-09-04 18:02:27 UTC 
It shouldn't be in triage if the maintainer has been CC'd.
Comment 3 Lev A. Serebryakov freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2014-09-06 11:13:00 UTC 
It looks like pkg / repo problem. I had such problems earlier on my laptop (not with serf), and it was pkg infrastructure problem, not port problem.
Comment 4 Kubilay Kocak freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2014-09-06 11:21:33 UTC 
Is this still an issue with the current (latest) package set?

Assigning to Lev (maintainer) since www/serf is the affected pkg we have a report for. 

CC portmgr in case there's a broader issue affecting other packages.
