Our automated repository checks [1] have detected that the 'fem-overlay' repository contains ebuilds that trigger fatal errors during the cache regeneration. This usually means that the ebuilds call 'die' in global scope indicating serious issues or have other serious QA violations. Global-scope failures prevent the ebuild not only from being installed but also from being properly processed by the Package Manager. Since metadata can not be obtained for those ebuilds, no cache entries are created for them and the Package Manager needs to retry running them every time it stumbles upon them. This involves both a serious slowdown and repeating error output while performing dependency resolution. The most common cause of global-scope failures is use of removed or banned APIs in old ebuilds. In particular, this includes eclasses being removed or removing support for old EAPIs. Nonetheless there are also other issues such as performing illegal operations in global scope (external program calls), malformed bash in ebuilds or malformed metadata.xml. The error log for the repository can be found at: https://qa-reports.gentoo.org/output/repos/fem-overlay.html In particular, please look for highlighted error messages. Please fix the issue ASAP, possibly via removing unmaintained, old ebuilds. We reserve the right to remove the repository from our list if we do not receive any reply within 4 weeks.

Problem identified: media-video/decklink-drivers uses EAPI=6, which is now unsupported by linux-mod.eclass. We are trying to bump the EAPI.
Changed the URL back to the QA report. The upstream issue is here: https://gitlab.fem-net.de/gentoo/fem-overlay/-/issues/195
Fix for media-video/decklink-drivers is now on master. However, app-pda/libimobiledevice now causes problems.
Nevermind, app-pda/libimobiledevice has been removed. pmaint regen doesn't complain, so ebuild failures in global scope should now be fixed.
Is the problem still present? The QA report looks like the issue is resolved.
The bug seems to be fixed in the repository. Closing.
