Try:
emerge --unmerge <package> && emerge <package>

If this doesn't work just unmerge the package delete the corresponding 
/etc directory and then reemerge the package. This worked for me having 
trouble with dbus.

If none of the above techniques work, just emerge the older package and 
then emerge the new again. If you don't know the version of the old 
package, use genlop.

Cheers,
Jay
