It's not clear what your problem is: what is it which is not working ?
If it's only that you're getting messages re running Revdep-rebuild
& given that you're a newcomer to Gentoo, the answer is probably simply
that R-r is an imperfect tool & more often than not cb ignored.
Sometimes the emerge output warns you to run R-r, but when you do
-- with '--pretend' -- , it simply wants to remerge the same package !
So if nothing is noticeably wrong, just ignore the R-r warnings.
