If your version is no longer in the portage tree, then "there are no ebuilds to satisfy" your old version. You should update to versions that currently exist in the portage tree.

I finally had to upgrade it to the older 2.2 version to get revdep-rebuild to work which makes no sense to me. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
