Bummer. Are you sure your libarchive.la is not another orphan, just
like liblzmadec.la was?

Please check (if you are still interested in hunting down the cause).
You should probably only end up with that la file if you have
USE="static-libs" for libarchive -- which (if I'm reading correctly
the paludis output attached in the bug) you do not have currently
enabled.

But since you have the libarchive.la file on your system you may have
had the USE flag enabled at one point, or the ebuild may have changed
to allow separate dynamic and static building while your package
manager might not have kept up with its records.

So, also check the owner of libarchive.la, and clean up if necessary.
Actually, since you seem to run a great risk of having more than one
orphan .la-file then maybe you should do something like "find /usr
-name '*.la' | xargs -r equery belongs" or some such generic flush-out
of orphaned .la files.
