**What app is this about, and its version** : PixelFed 0.12.6~ynh2
**What YunoHost version are you running** : 12.1.39 (stable)
**What type of hardware are you using** : Virtual machine
### Describe your issue
Attempting to upgrade PixeFed from 0.12.6~ynh2 to 0.12.6~ynh4 fails.
I’m not a Linux guru by any means (hence why I use YunoHost instead of installing from source).
The problem appears to be related to this:
```auto

Go to https://packagist.org/security-advisories/ to find advisory details. To ignore the advisories, add them to the audit "ignore" config. To turn the feature off entirely, you can set "block-insecure" to false in your "audit" config.

There is a security issue (with a low risk) with a component, so you’ll have to wait for the update to be made.
But I’ve got a question for you : why do you install Pixelfed on a virtual machine ?

Why not? It’s my personal, self-hosted instance, which piggybacks off my main workstation.

Yes why not, but my question was more about using a heavy stuff (a pixelfed instance) instead of a lightweight one (just an account on a pixelfed instance) ; because the aim of an instance is to be connected to the world, and if it’s a virtual machine on a personal computer, it could be struggling to let people get connected to your instance.

I enjoy the technical challenge/satisfaction I get from ‘hosting my own’.
Isn’t that in the spirit of Yunohost?

This seems to have been resolved now. Last night’s upgrade was successful. 👍
