what version of orbit do you have installed?

[Comment 2 Federico Galassi 2006-05-17 08:32:57 UTC]

the problem is control-center ebuild depends on
>=gnome-base/orbit-2 only
while gnome-daemon-settings, part of control-center, needs orbit 2.14.
So when you emerge gnome-light or gnome with ~x86,
portage tries to upgrade control-center before orbit.

a quick fix is to explicitly emerge gnome-base/orbit and
then start emerge gnome(-light) again
