pkgmove is used to *move* packages, not *merge* them. Moving multiple packages into the same name can effectively result in invalid state when the PM is requested to create multiple packages with identical identifier.

Since this is ancient, I suppose the reasonable thing to do would be to remove the entries.
Comment 1 Ulrich Müller gentoo-dev 2017-08-25 09:56:22 UTC 
Given that these entries are very old, any damage has already been done.

I suggest not to take any action (which would trigger an update pass on users' systems), but wait for removal of the 4Q-2012 file which is due in early 2018.
Comment 2 Mikle Kolyada (RETIRED) archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2020-03-29 07:39:45 UTC 
These moves do not exist anymore.
