[gentoo-user] linuxtv-dvb-headers gone virtual blocks mythtv overlay

After yesterday's sync I found mythtv's overlay not able to build anymore due to missing dependency: media-tv/linuxtv-dvb-headers is no longer present in the tree. A quick search shows that it has now become virtual/linuxtv-dvb-headers [1]. I suppose that my only options for rebuilding mythtv are

I am wondering if any of you had experienced the same difficulty as me: A couple of days ago, I upgraded openrc from (whatever version it was previously) to 0.9.8.4. One of the scripts in /etc/init.d was a symlink to /opt/some/package/path (To be precise, /etc/init.d/gatewall -> /opt/wallmator/i
