Porthole was crashing in several places.
Some of the functions are more strict than they used to be about invalid dependency data. If portage_dep._dep_check_strict = False is set then the new strict behavior will be disabled. Note that portage will now refuse to install packages with invalid dependency data. The strict behavior is only disabled when dealing with installed packages. Eventually, it should be possible to keep the strict behavior enabled at all times. > I have changed portholes coding to work around it, but there are several more > bugs for me to fix before considering it for a new release (a few unfinished > features too).

Actually, I was planning to open a stabilization bug tomorrow morning. Soon the tree snapshot will be taken for the 2007.0 release media, so we really need to have the arch teams stabilize it quite soon.
