I've seen this error before, but I can't remember the answer.  Your
best bet is to go to http://fireserver.ath.cx/gentoo/search/ and
search the user archives for that message.  Sometimes errors like this
mean that you should upgrade your version of portage before doing
aything else.

BTW, I'm your basic chicken.  I never do "emerge -u world' (same as
'emerge --update world').  I always do 'emerge -pu world >somefile,
then research and issue emerge commands for each recommended package. 
Most of the time 'emerge -u world' works ok, but it can bite you in
the rear.  Also you don't get any time forecast, so if world has
selected a glibc update and a full gnome update and a full kde update,
you may be in for a long wait.
