I am new to Gentoo, and have been getting the same error. I was going to install ISC DHCP but thought I should update Portage first. I keep getting this message

>>> Updating Portage cache: 88%!!! Cannot resolve a virtual package name to an ebuild.
!!! This is a bug, please report it. (virtual/libintl-0)
Also, when I do a emerge --search ISC DHCP I get a whole bunch of packages. How do I know what the package name/syntax is so I choose the corred one all I get on the display is this match
* net-misc/dhcp

Have tried submitting a bug report / searching bugzilla? Check out http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/bugzilla-howto.xml
Have you tried clearing your portage cache (/usr/portage/*) and re-syncing?
As far as the emerge syntax, for the ISC DHCP you have shown,
| Code: | | # emerge net-misc/dhcp |
However, since there are no other standard ebuilds with the name 'dhcp',
will do.
The 'net-misc/' part is pointing emerge to look in the /usr/portage/net-misc/ directory for dhcp, rather than just /usr/portage/*. An example of when you would be required to specify the prefix directory:
| Code: | # emerge -pv sudo
These are the packages that I would merge, in order:
Calculating dependencies
!!! The short ebuild name "sudo" is ambiguous. Please specify
!!! one of the following fully-qualified ebuild names instead:
app-admin/sudo
app-vim/sudo |
So if you wanted the sudo which 'Allows users or groups to run commands as other users', you would use app-admin/sudo. Conversely, if you wanted the sudo which is 'vim plugin: edit restricted files from a normal vim session', you would use app-vim/sudo. |

Please see Can't get emerge to work.
