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?
update to -r7 *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 25246 ***
