Description Cddr 2016-06-04 07:22:07 UTC 
app-admin/emacs-updater doesn't work with stable app-portage/portage-utils-0.62 as qfile dropped the `--from' option:

We cannot use the -a option because it is a GNU extension. Neither the FreeBSD nor the POSIX version support it:

   SYNOPSIS
       xargs [−ptx] [−E eofstr] [−I replstr|−L number|−n number]
           [−s size] [utility [argument...]]

Please test if the following fixes the problem for you:
