ERROR: `dev-python/crccheck-1.0::jm-overlay` failed (depend phase)

[JohnTheCoolingFan]

Every time I do some things using portage I now get this error message:

 * ERROR: dev-python/crccheck-1.0::jm-overlay failed (depend phase):
 *   distutils_enable_tests: unsupported argument: nose
 * 
 * Call stack:

I can provide more info if necessary.

The package isn't even installed on my system.

Looks like a change in upstream portage broke the ebuild. The error is triggered by portage updating its metadata cache, which is why it shows up even when the package is not installed.

Should be fixed with the latest commit, thanks for reporting!
