I was surprised to see two entries of "portage" in /var/log ... in fact, the second one contains an additional space " " in the name. Its almost empty, and contains ony one file on my system: ls /var/log/portage\ /usr/portage/local/layman/enlightenment/ dev-util:cvs-1.12.12-r4:20070211-155046.log strange to me ...

I'm not sure what may have triggered this behavior. If it's not reproducible then we can set the resolution to WORKSFORME.
Take good care at log date, and emerge--info ... I suspect this log to be due to ebuild override from overlay.2 (Enlightenment) I put wontfix for now, since you seem not to have any idea about it ...
