Hi Gerald,

Thanks for reaching out. I never hit this problem myself (probably due
to not importing documents recently, but only adding scanned documents
over scanner/consumer).

As it turns out, django-auditlog changed the spelling of their release
artifacts on pypi from django-auditlog to django_auditlog, therefore
portscout didn't pick up the new version.

I'll address the issue soon.

Cheers
Michael
