[gentoo-user] How to decode this?

Hello list,

I've just about finished installing a new ~amd64 system, because it was
getting too intricate to maintain ~arch versions of all the packages I need
with some pretty new hardware in here. When it came to emerging libreoffice,
though, and its last dependency app-text/libetonyek, I found a bit of a
puzzle.

The build log of app-text/libetonyek includes this:

[...]
checking for MDDS... no
configure: error: Package requirements (mdds-1.0) were not met:

No package 'mdds-1.0' found

...and on the console I see:

 * emerge --keep-going: app-office/libreoffice-5.1.3.2 dropped because it
 * requires >=app-text/libetonyek-0.1, >=app-text/libetonyek-0.1

Now that's odd, because DEPEND in the libetonyek ebuild contains
"dev-util/mdds:1" and see here:

$ eix mdds
[I] dev-util/mdds
     Available versions:  
     (0)    0.10.3(0/0.10.3) (~)0.11.2-r1(0/0.11.2) 0.12.0(0/0.12.0) 0.12.1(0/0.12.1){tbz2}
     (1)    (~)1.2.0(1/1.2){tbz2} **9999(1/9999)
       {doc valgrind}
     Installed versions:  0.12.1{tbz2}(09:46:34 05/06/16) 1.2.0(1){tbz2}(09:57:29 05/06/16)(-doc -valgrind)
     Homepage:            https://gitlab.com/mdds/mdds
     Description:         A collection of multi-dimensional data structure and indexing algorithm

So, as I already have versions in slots 0 and 1, and libetonyek wants the
one in slot 1, what is portage complaining about?
