Hi, I also had this problem: it was due to the fact I had an old version of xulrunner installed on my computer. To address the problem, I only removed xulrunner : rm -Rf /usr/lib/xulrunner-* But I think that it would have been better to clean it by using : emerge -aC xulrunner Hope it will solve your infinite revdep-rebuild loop, JC
