Created attachment 280255 [details] emerge --info
Postgresql installed: dev-db/postgresql-base-9.0.4-r2 and dev-db/postgresql-server-9.0.4-r1 I don't understand why base and server have different revisions though..
The first question obviously is 'eselect postgresql'.
I spot an error regarding an already existing path in /usr/share/postgresql. I removed that directory and ran eselect postgresql update. After that I could successfully emerge pg.
