It was the same problem I had with my server 10 days ago. The new portage
re-did the /var/cache/edb to /var/lib/portage/
Here's a snippet from the gentoo site.
FHS compliance
This new Portage release introduces some file relocations:
* The virtuals file (/var/cache/edb/virtuals) is no longer used. It is
now calculated transparently.
* The world-file is now located inside /var/lib/portage instead of
/var/cache/edb.
* /etc/portage/profile/virtuals is for user configurations only.
Thanks to the relocation of the world-file and dynamic checking of the
virtuals, Portage is now FHS-compliant. For instance, data within /var/cache
can be removed at will - it is actually cache data now.

Subject: [gentoo-alpha] another Portage problem
just emerged the 2.0.51 Portage update. During the
update, I got the message:
* Checking //var/lib/portage for bad/illegal files:
ln: accessing `../../lib/portage/world': No such file
or directory
Anyone think this is a problem?
