It looks like you are downloading the ebuild by hand from their web site.

I just installed Megesync 4.5.3 on my system, which has ffmpeg-4.4

The commands I used were:

	layman -a 4nykey

to add the 4nykey overlay, which contains megasync, then

	emerge -a megasync

just like other portage programs.


If you still get any crypto-related errors, have a look for the recent news item 
"*2021-07-23-libxcrypt-migration*"

	eselect news list

will get you a list.
