I get this too, but only on systems that were upgraded to portage 2.0.51.
Created attachment 45714 [details, diff] Fixes call to get_use_vars that was renamed to get_use_flags This small change should fix it.

I was also having this problem, and I can confirm that the above patch fixes it.
The patch also fixed it for me
Kimmo, please don't close bug reports until fixes are available through portage. I have provided a patch, but it still has to be checked into the archive by the gentoolkit developers.
can confirm this issue with gentoolkit-0.2.0
*** Bug 80606 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
fixed in 0.2.1_pre1. Sorry for the long delay.
