a patch to solve seems to be available at: http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=121006
sorry for being insolent but this bug has more than two months since reporting and about month since resolving it. anacron is very important package for home users. my proposal is to submit this patch to cvs or simply mask anacron ebuild. it's important too because in portage there is only one version of anacron and older versions must be compiled/installed manually - not everybody can do this.
sorry about the delay. Fixed in portage.
