This isn't a bug. Portage is saying that the package dev-perl/File-Spec-0.84-r1 can't be installed because it conflicts with an already installed package. If you had done an emerge --update --pretend system before hand you would have noticed this. You may need to unmerge the offending package or try adjust your USE flags so that dev-perl/File-Spec-0.84-r1 isn't needed.
