Yes, well, that's what revdep-rebuild does-- finds broken stuff. It's
doing its job-- what's the problem with that?

Ummmm--- why do you feel that this is the "same package that isn't even
installed"? You said that you have libmjpegutils installed, just not the
same version that was attempting to be rebuilt before 1.8.0 installed,
rather than the 1.6.2-r3 that was attempting to be rebuilt).
eix mjpegtools
* media-video/mjpegtools
Available versions: 1.6.2-r4 ~1.8.0 ~1.8.0-r1
Installed: 1.6.2-r4
Homepage: http://mjpeg.sourceforge.net/
Description: Tools for MJPEG video
equery files media-video/mjpegtools
[ Searching for packages matching media-video/mjpegtools... ]
* Contents of media-video/mjpegtools-1.6.2-r4:
/usr/lib/libmjpegutils-1.6.so.0 -> libmjpegutils-1.6.so.0.2.2
Now, obviously this is not the same version of mjpegtools that you have,
but what it indicates is that the "file" libmjpegutils-1.6.so.0 is a
symlink to whatever version of the actual library is installed by the
package.
I rather expect that what would happen if I were to upgrade this package
is that the symlink itself would remain, but the target of the symlink
would change.
If this is in fact the case, two points:
1: your symlink seems to be broken;
2: the error you have listed does not say anything about what version of
mjpegtools is installed or broken, so revdep-rebuild is not necessarily
talking about the same version as previously,
But better to go to the source:

So apparently the rebuild failed.
But first of all, I don't see mjpegtools being rebuilt in this list, so
that is not the problem apparently (the problem is not that mjpegtools
is not installed, but that the programs that depend on it are not linked
against it, which is what revdep-rebuild is trying to fix by re-emerging
them);
... and second of all, which package failed to emerge and why?
Meaning, what was the error in whichever package failed to emerge?
