As you can see, result of eix has vigra, but of emerge still doesn't have.
Also, many of flag U package is excepted from emerge --update.

If so, I think Gentoo's world is not whole world.

Package was installed and it needs to be update. But it's not in world.
So... I don't know.
It's very... odd.
