Hmm, I do get the feeling that you misunderstand what I am telling you.

My poudriere's jail follows /usr/src. Thus at every rebuild of my OS (I do that every other week because I am following STABLE-12) my jail gets upgraded as well:

	mike> poudriere jail -l
	JAILNAME VERSION             ARCH  METHOD       TIMESTAMP           PATH
	stable   12.0-STABLE 1200500 amd64 src=/usr/src 2018-12-22 18:19:50 /usr/home/poudriere/jails/stable

Next, that poudriere jail keeps a copy of a resulting "make buildworld" run of base. This jail is lacking any binary/library of ports running on my machine. Thus, libmilter.so is missing as well:

	mike> find /usr/home/poudriere/jails/stable -name "libmilter.so*" -ls
	mike>

Now, poudriere will create (cpdup) as many jails from /usr/home/poudriere/jails/stable as told to use builders. This "OS copy" is lacking the needed libmilter library as well, when poudriere is trying to build security/clamav-milter. And it will fail without indicating that there is a dependency for yet another port, namely mail/libmilter. My proposed patch will deal with that dependency.

YMMV, but IMHO, a port shouldn't rely on pre-installed libraries from base or other ports. Thus it shouldn't need a "forced rebuild of everything".

Correct me if I am mistaken, but IIRC the libmilter library used to be part of sendmail in base. This has been modified in FBSD 12, again IIRC [1].
