Run 'fixpackages' or set it in FEATURES to fix the tbz2's in the packages directory. Note: This can take a very long time. ----
`emerge -C gentoolkit ; emerge sync` and you should be fine
The binary collisions are there because you made packages without fixing your existing ones... How you did that is a good question though. Delete all the files in /usr/portage/packages that match the first filename given. They should all be symlinks.
Hello. I've done as vapier and carpaski suggested and things seem to be fine. So please feel free to close this bug. I do not set fixpackages in FEATURES as that makes emerge sync take a very long time and since I don't use the packages very often I only run fixpackages manually once every week or so.
nick: this really is not a symptom of what you suggested ... i had it happen on a box of mine where i had made a gentoolkit binary package ... when the update script ran i got those errors ... removing the binary script made things work

Just had this once again today: ---- Performing Global Updates: /usr/portage/profiles/updates/4Q-2003 (Could take a couple minutes if you have a lot of binary packages.) .='update pass' *='binary update' @='/var/db move' ..............@!!!

Since I was having a lot of problems with fixpackages and binary package collisions I've separated that aspect from here out into bug 33556 for clarity. Hope that's okay. If not, please adjust as you wish.

i dont know how you guys want to handle this ... it's a problem because sometimes when people moved packages they didnt delete the old ones ... in this case, tar was moved to app-arch but sys-apps still existed and this 'bug' was triggered ...
I can't update world at the moment since portage is still looking for sys-apps/bzip2 which does not exist and has moved to app-arch/bzip2. Any quick fix for this other than to copy the bzip2 dir to sys-apps?
dhruba, it's the portage metadata cache, which you need to regenerate: rm -rf /var/cache/edb/dep/* && emerge regen and that should sort out your emerge world problem

This bug seems to be about like four different issues. Closing it until someone can point out the exact issue this report is about.
Closing due to old age
