I can't help you fix that error, but I have something just as good :-)

myth is still installed, just broken right? You didn;t uninstall it?

In /var/db/pkg/<cat>/<package-version>/ you will find the ebuild that
is currently installed (despite it not being in the tree anymore). Copy
it to your personal overlay and continue to use it till you get the
error sorted out.
