I'm also seeing this from time to time - "emerge -Duvat world"
just seems to take forever at the "Calculating world dependencies"
after I ran "eix-sync" which includes "emerge --sync". And I haven't
updated portage. Any ideas?

I don't think it's a missing "emerge --metadata", as the metadata
generation is included when running "emerge --sync" (Updating Portage
cache:  100%), isn't it?
