[Solved] How do I associate library with package?

I guess the problem comes from the ebuild installing to /usr/lib, which on amd64 usually is a link to /usr/lib64. revdep-rebuild looks for a package owning /usr/lib64/.../libjunbound.so (as that's the "real" lookup path), but cannot find that one. So to fix this there are two options:
a) Ideally someone would fix the ebuild (use get_libdir, don't use uname in src_install to name two obvious issues, there are probably other java-specific issues as well) to install into the proper location
b) Manually modify the path in the portage installation database, which may or may not cause other issues (don't know if there are any integrity checks or cache validation issues these days).

As for option 2) see the revdep-rebuild manpage.

And to temporarily fix the issue, after reading the revdep-rebuild man page, I added;
