+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #25410 +++

I was upgrading world and portage wanted to install PDL-2.4.0-r1. Then he wanted to 
unmerge the original version (2.4.0), and here's the tail of the output: 
 
... 
<<<        dir /usr/doc/PDL-2.4.0/html/PDL 
<<<        dir /usr/doc/PDL-2.4.0/html 
<<<        dir /usr/doc/PDL-2.4.0 
Traceback (most recent call last): 
  File "/usr/bin/emerge", line 1951, in ? 
    mydepgraph.merge(mydepgraph.altlist()) 
  File "/usr/bin/emerge", line 1248, in merge 
    if not unmerge("clean", [xsplit[0]]): 
  File "/usr/bin/emerge", line 1452, in unmerge 
    retval=portage.unmerge(mysplit[0],mysplit[1],portage.root,unmerge_action not in 
["clean","prune"])

  File "/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/portage.py", line 4238, in unmerge 
    if len(objld)>0: 
TypeError: len() of unsized object 
 
 
I could NOT reproduce this.
