well, I wanted to make some tests with libvirt and VirtualBox, but I guess
I'll leave it for some other time. I removed the "virtualbox" USE flag.

Else try emerging virtualbox-ose or virtualbox-bin befire libvirt.


nothing's changed.

But this is probably a bug?


I believe so. emerge should never fail, in my opinion. if the ebuild lacks a
dependency, it should be pulled; if the code doesn't compile, use patches;
if it has more than one conflicting USE flags, warn the user and use a
default flag; anyway, it should never fail, specially like that.
