revdep-rebuild seems to have been borken on my system for some time. It scans for broken packages and then runs an emerge command with invalid package atoms. On top of this, it exits with a code of 0.

I think this is because you have gst-plugins-flac-0.8* installed but that version isn't in the tree anymore. revdep-rebuild even tells you this is a possible reason.
Comment #1 is correct.
