Description Nicholas Jones (RETIRED) gentoo-dev

aux_get() code does not recognise the lack of a package name/version.
It fails when trying to look at the ebuild, which is "".

This patch cuts off the lookup when mycpv is "".

Just realized that the SIMPLEST fix is to add 'continue' after the 
full_package="" line in emerges' search() code...

The other method won't help other debugging because it might make
some problems silent... Might suggest throwing an exception, but
the traceback is kinda obvious.

Will be fixed in 2.0.25.  Thanks.
