Description Mohamed M. Hagag 2006-12-28 12:22:32 UTC 
when i run  Update binary package index /usr/portage/packages/All i get this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/gentoolkit/bin/genpkgindex", line 128, in ?
    for x in iuse.split(' '):
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'split'

i've test gentoolkit-0.2.2 and the 0.2.3-pre2
Comment 1 Mohamed M. Hagag 2006-12-28 12:55:05 UTC 
in line 128 , 129 i've did a cast to iuse,use to strings like this:

128	for x in str(iuse).split(' '):
129		for y in str(use).split(' '):

instead of:

128	for x in iuse.split(' '):
129		for y in use.split(' '):

as i think that split function should be done on strings only and python didn't see them as strings.

after i did this the script runs fine but it doesn't generate metadata.idx file as expected :( .
