Apparently your profile (/home_cheetah/ftp/pub/portage/profiles/default/linux/x86/10.0/desktop) contains some obsolete virtuals: http://sources.gentoo.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/gentoo-x86/profiles/base/packages?view=log#rev1.47 http://sources.gentoo.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/gentoo-x86/profiles/base/packages?view=log#rev1.48

I meant rev 1.49: http://sources.gentoo.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/gentoo-x86/profiles/base/packages?view=log#rev1.49
We can make the message clearer by making it indicate that the atoms come from the system set.
Thank you Zac, 'eselect profile list' showed me, that no profile was selected. Nevertheless there was a link /etc/make.profile -> ../home_cheetah/ftp/pub/portage/profiles/default/linux/x86/10.0/desktop/ Anytime in the past I moved /usr/portage to /home_cheetah/ftp/pub/portage, bcause of limited space in the /usr partition A new 'eselect profile set default/linux/x86/10.0/desktop' solved my problem. 'emerge -vuDN world' no more complains about virtual/modutils and virtual/portage.
Nowadays, the output already says where the dependency is coming from, so I think we're good here.
