>Description:
www/links is listed as vulnerable in pkg-vulnerabilities and I have not been able to find any conclusive ChangeLog entries for that project that indicate the vulnerabilities have been address.

Meanwhile, textproc/rfc wants to use www/links by default. The attached patch changes this preference to www/lynx so it can be built without supplying package options to avoid a vulnerable package.
>How-To-Repeat:
cd pkgsrc/textproc/rfcutil && bmake package
>Fix:
Index: options.mk
