See if there are multiple version of the package installed and if possible
remove all the older versions. I had this issue with baselayout and
removed all older version and the error went away.
I can't tell you why the older versions of baselayout were still there. A
bug in portage perhaps? None of the options I had set in make.conf would
of caused them to not be removed.
