Description Mathy Vanvoorden 2009-05-21 16:27:22 UTC 
XBMC depends only on unrar, but there is also unrar-gpl which provides the same functionality.

From the mplayer ebuild:
        rar? ( || ( app-arch/unrar-gpl
                app-arch/unrar ) )

XBMC ebuild only checks for unrar, resulting in blocking errors if you have unrar-gpl installed.

I don't know if this qualifies for a virtual, but since they basically provide the same functionality, I would suspect so.
