portage is ver 2.1.1 on a mostly stable x86 (my development laptop). this error started happening after yesterday's update. I should probably mention that my world file was full of zeroes today, but the cause of this is unknown (no system instability but somewhat unclean filesystem (xfs_repair did repair a few entries)). I fixed the fs, recreated the world file and installed a portage package compiled on a different machine, but the problem persists. the relevant strace part is this:

9854  lstat64("/", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755, st_size=4096, ...}) = 0
9854  open("/.9854", O_WRONLY|O_CREAT|O_TRUNC|O_LARGEFILE, 0666) = 3
9854  fstat64(3, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=0, ...}) = 0
9854  fstat64(3, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=0, ...}) = 0
9854  mmap2(NULL, 4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) = 0xb75ed000
9854  write(3, "\n# misc system\nsys-fs/unionfs\nsys-process/daemontools-scripts\nnet-misc/openvpn\nnet-misc/open

9854  close(3)                          = 0
9854  munmap(0xb75ed000, 4096)          = 0
9854  stat64("/", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755, st_size=4096, ...}) = 0
9854  stat64("/.9854", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=1439, ...}) = 0
9854  futex(0x804a460, FUTEX_WAKE, 1)   = 0
9854  chmod("/.9854", 0755)             = 0
9854  rename("/.9854", "/")             = -1 EBUSY (Device or resource busy)
9854  unlink("/.9854")                  = 0
9854  write(2, "Traceback (most recent call last):\n", 35) = 35

upon further investigation, I have in my /etc/portage/package.keywords:
net-misc/yate
(but yate is no longer installed)

and when portage tries to do the quarterly update (4Q2006 contains "move net-misc/yate net-voip/yate"), it breaks with that error. if I remove 
net-misc/yate from package.keywords everything is ok:

peter portage # emerge --info

 ** Skipping packages. Run 'fixpackages' or set it in FEATURES to fix the
    tbz2's in the packages directory. Note: This can take a very long time.
