i have resolved this. it seems that com_err and ss never were unmerged successfully. in testing, i tried re-merging e2fsprogs-libs (as it replaces com_err and ss). it unmerged these two, and now e2fsprogs rebuilds successfully. at completion of rebuild it prompts it for a rebuild still, but most likely this is to due another bug within portage/emerge frontend (#230257).
