Does the output that you get also provide the name of the ebuilds that cause this problem? this will be very useful to track down this issue.
only the kdelibs that was mentioned in the original report
kdelibs doesn't use deprange. This is caused by some ebuild that depends on kdelibs. What ebuild are you trying to emerge when this happens? Does it happen with every kde ebuild? Is any kde ebuild already emerged?
I tried it again (after an emerge sync) and now it works (well, emerge -pv kde-meta works).
