Then cdparanoia is not in your world file. Try emerge -uavD world.
As additional info: cdparanoia has been probably pulled in as a dependency by a package. Latter has been uninstalled meanwhile, so nothing points at cdparanoia from your world file. There all packages you installed without the -1 (--oneshot) option are found, and cdparanoia does not belong there. A "emerge cdparanoia" should fix your problem with the next upgrade.
if you want to know all 'lost' packages in your system emerge --depclean -p will help
(In reply to comment #2) > As additional info: > A "emerge cdparanoia" should fix > your problem with the next upgrade. or: emerge --noreplace cdparanoia at any time.
