Had this problem a few hours ago too.
Re-synced a minute ago, and emerge world -Dup wanted to downgrade portage (before it broke).
Re-emerged portage, the problem disappeared, and a new minor one appeared.

Some perl modules were blocking the due perl upgrade, and were themselves due for an upgrade. I just unmerged the blocking modules and let portage get on with the world update.

No problems here with portage-2.0.48-r7. What version do you have?
Comment 3 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2003-07-25 15:33:05 UTC
update to -r7
