 d66d4aa "portlist: Drop unused library search method"] broke the links
 that show up for a port's dependencies on the port list page because those
 links were still using the {{{library}}} search method. At the moment, no
 ports are displayed when clicking on a dependency link.

 I thought at first that maybe the links could be updated to use the
 {{{name}}} search method if the {{{library}}} search method isn't used
 anywhere else anymore, but it turns out that method uses the {{{LIKE}}}
 operator rather than the {{{=}}} operator, making it show more ports than
 just the dependency. It might be best to simply revert this commit.
