Does this problem still persist? Looks like it was temporary to me.
It's a dependency problem in an ebuild, it seems.

Reopen/Recreate if it still is a problem.

Still same problem on my U2 box.

[Comment 5 Geordon Marchak 2004-05-20 16:08:18 UTC]

Patches in /usr/portage/packages which were copied from the install CD caused
this.  Removing the patches allowed emerge sync to proceed.   Shouldn't this
not be a problem?  Anyways, solved for now.
