When looking at the packages to be merged, I guess you are running
unstable gentoo. Which version of portage do you use. 2.2_rc9?
Many things have changed with portage-2.2. So I recommend reading the
documentation of portage first.

I am not using portage 2.2, but with stable portage the following
almost everytime helps to get a sane state:

emerge -uND --with-bdeps=y world
revdep-rebuild -i
emerge -p --depclean

Before you let depclean remove anything make sure you really don't
need it and you have run python-updater (there is something like this
for perl too which I don't recall at the moment).

Also make sure you have a clean world file, which means if there is an
entry which is already needed by something else it should normally be
removed as this could cause problems.
