Description Manon Goo 2023-11-13 13:49:08 UTC 
Hello,

The following issues would improve the handling on readonly filesystems:

1.) /usr/local/etc/periodic/security/410.pkg-audit  &  /usr/local/etc/periodic/security/405.pkg-base-audit

Add an option to to specify "-f File" so that the vulnxml file can be located outside of /var/db/pkg. 

2.)  /usr/local/sbin/pkg check -qsa tries to open the sqliteDB Files in RW mode.  From my understanding this is not necessary for the check operations.

Kind Regards,
Manon
