Find obsolete Gentoo packages that cannot be installed any more Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment Summary : The remote operating system contains obsolete software Description : The remote Gentoo system contains several packages or versions which have been marked as obsolete and have been removed from the portage tree. These versions are therefore unmaintained, which means that if any security flaw is found in them, no patch will be made available. In addition to this, these packages might break after a library upgrade and it will be impossible to recompile them. Solution: Remove or upgrade those packages.
