(dependency required by "app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-mplayerlibs-1.1" [ebuild]) !!! Problem resolving dependencies for app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-mplayerlibs !!! Depgraph creation failed. I unmerged app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-glibc and it didn't solve the problem so I did a dirty solution: /etc/portage/profile/package.provided: app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-glibc-1000 Obviously the package app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-glibc is no longer present in the Portage tree as the standard glibc package includes It's features but It seems that app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-mplayerlibs hasn't been updated.
there is no app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-mplayerlibs, the error must be in your overlay
I changed the line in the overlay's ebuild that said "app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-glibc" to "sys-libs/glibc" and it works fine. Since glibc now is multilib and has 32-bit support, we no longer need the emulation package.
