I tried to reinstall my quirky mythtv box last night with a full stable install -- first one i've done in months. I generally prefered the ~x86 packages but I decided that I could do the "safe thing" and only unmask things i really wanted. i came to this conclusion: mythtv needs to have its deps updated and marked ~x86. upon the initial compile of mythtv i found that it would fail because it could not locate libstdc++-v3. I checked and sure enough -- its not on my system. in fact its marked ~x86 and needs to go with the corresponding ~x86 gcc. So i keyworded the ~x86 gcc, libsdtc++-v3, glibc, and the others it was barking at me to unmask. after a rebuild of the toolchain and system the mythtv install finally successfully concluded. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.use an x86 install 2.emerge mythtv 3. Actual Results: will fail because it needs an ~x86 package which requires an ~x86 toolchain. Expected Results: I expected it to install correctly without needing anything further.

Definitely *not* mythtv - look at the ebuild.
