The problem file /usr/lib/python2.n/site-packages/logilab/__init__.py is only owned by logilab-common now, not in any recent versions of pylint. I've filed a stablisation bug #176201 for pylint 0.12.2 so when that is marked stable we can remove 0.6.4 from portage and close this WONTFIX.
pylint-0.6.4 removed, marking FIXED.
