It looks like you have aspell installed with the linguas_ru flag disabled. What is the content of /var/db/pkg/app-text/aspell-0.60.5/USE?
$ dog /var/db/pkg/app-text/aspell-0.60.5/USE elibc_glibc gpm kernel_linux nls userland_GNU x86 I just reinstalled this a few days ago, and I have had linguas_ru set since I originally put Gentoo on the machine over a year ago.
The problem is that the relevant linguas_* flags are not specified in IUSE.
It seems to be fixed in cvs: http://sources.gentoo.org/viewcvs.py/gentoo-x86/app-text/aspell/aspell-0.60.6.ebuild?r1=1.2&r2=1.3 *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 245399 ***
