I've seen the same problem on a few machines as well, and I've been unable to fix the problem. The issue seems to have started a while back, but since I was running unstable I hoped it would go away. Being overworked didn't help either. :-/ [almach ~] # emerge info !!!

Those are notices. It's not failing. Remedied in new/cvs portages.
