Bug 531018 – app-portage/porthole - porthole when run as root exits after: NameError: global name 'priviliges' is not defined

• Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX
• Product: Portage Development

[Description ehrich.weiss 2014-11-28 16:47:08 UTC]

Using porthole 0.6.1-r1 as root I get the error listed. At first I thought it was simply a typo in the file but when I corrected it there were other errors so I reverted. The only reason I use it as root is because for some reason I can no longer use "ask" in the Advanced Emerge options if run as non-root. 

This happens most often when I'm trying to unmask


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. run porthole as root(I did it via command line to see the error)
2. Attempt to unmask a package
3. 
Actual Results:  
At some point in this process it will give "NameError: global name 'priviliges' is not defined"

Expected Results:  
It should have unmasked(or whatever I asked it to do)

(It won't let me put my emerge --info here. Complains of the size..grr)
