:roll: usually, that the case, however here

...insert a rant about bug wrangling...

The bottom line is this looks like a dupe of bug 566372.
Comment 4 Ulf Dambacher 2016-01-05 06:54:02 UTC
@ Rafał Mużyło : Thanks for revisiting the bug - your Hint pointed to the right direction!

I confirm that updating portage to 2.2.26 resolves the bug for me.

bottom line: maybe putting "emerge world" into the title is prone to being wrongly tagged.
