emerge -pu world 

These are the packages that I would merge, in order.

to solve this error just remove the space of openssl

You must have a very old portage tree. 2.8.4a-r3 was removed around 6 weeks ago.
Please rsync your tree using emerge --clean rsync (if using a early version of
emerge) or emerge rsync if you are using a newer version.

i got this with portage-20020827.tar.bz2

so it's not my fault

look what i've found in the package.mask 
# <[e-mail]> (26 Aug 2002)
# Masked to force lynx-2.8.4.1c
=net-www/lynx-2.8.4a-r4

but when i do emerge lynx it does lynx-2.8.4a-r3

gentoo usr # emerge lynx                      
Calculating dependencies ...done!
>>> emerge net-www/lynx-2.8.4a-r3 to /
>>> md5 ;-) lynx2.8.4.tar.bz2
>>> Unpacking source...
>>> Unpacking lynx2.8.4.tar.bz2



why is this so ?

You need to completly remove the /usr/portage to get rid of old ebuild files
from earlier snapshots, just overwriting with the new snapshots isn't enough. 
Since the ebuild has been removed from CVS I can't update it :-/.
