trying to tell it it's ok with 'portaudit_fixed' in
/usr/local/etc/portaudit.conf doesn't work, and trying to deinstall
portaudit:
/usr/ports/security/portaudit# make deinstall

well, i dunno what that means but doesn't work either. so how
do i get around it?
There are more than one way to install vulnerable port. Sometimes
DISABLE_VULNERABILITIES=yes may be enough.
Permissions denied may be caused by your file system mount options - if
you have /var (/var/db/pkg) mounted as noexec, than some ports
(packages) can not be deinstalled (deinstall script can not be executed)
