Well, I've been warned that make update should have potential side
effects. But this is not a side effect, this is a bloody collateral
dommage !

An obscure security problem in graphics/png lead me to update it, at
least to get rid of the message from auditpackages ...

Unfortunately, when I did "make update", it deleted **without asking,
neither warning me** mrtg and gd, which depends on it.

I was in fact warned by security check next night :

That should never, never, happen !

Is there some flag, variable, or something I missed,  to avoid this ?

Thanks,
