Hi,
As title. Both of these packages are depreciated. If installed and
pkg audit -Fr is run, they'll both generate errors.
For db5 it'll suggest db18. For pcre it'll suggest pcre2.
Why, on the pkg cluster, are packages still being built against them?
This is for url: "pkg+https://pkg.FreeBSD.org/${ABI}/latest"
