Short summary: You need * either glibc without rpc support, that means glibc-2.26 or glibc-2.25[-rpc] * or quota without rpc support, i.e. quota[-rpc] If you don't need it I suggest switching off rpc support of quota. If you do need rpc support for quota, you have two options: 1) switch off rpc support of glibc-2.25, unsetting rpc useflag there. You should globally switch on the libtirpc useflag then. This is the less-tested configuration I guess. 2) Update to glibc-2.26, which will hopefully go stable soon anyway. You should globally switch on the libtirpc useflag then. Please read this mail first for additional information: https://archives.gentoo.org/gentoo-dev/message/39db40af2e578018827786d3c964ddf3
I have worked around this with some keywords: =sys-libs/glibc-2.26-r7 ~amd64 =net-libs/libnsl-1.1.0-r3 ~amd64 =net-libs/rpcsvc-proto-1.2-r1 ~amd64 I'm not entirely happen about having to ~amd64 glibc as a workaround but I will mark resolved.
