I guess that, too, I had the same problem. Have a look at the output
of "eix -I www-servers/tomcat" to check that (I assumne everyone here has
eix installed these days, right?).
I did not knw about glsa-check until recently, and was surprised it showed
a pile of packages to update. Some were no longer dependencies of things
I have in world, so my world updates did not update them. And some were
installed multiple times, I had to unmerge the older ones, as you suggest
here:

Any idea how this can happen? Aborted emerges or what? But shouldn't
emerge clean, or auto-clean which happens then emerge -u world has
nothing to update, do this? How can one find those?
eix -i --format "(green,1)<category>(blue,1)/(yellow,1)<name>() |
<installedversionsshort>"
should help you narrow your search down if your looking for dup installs.
/how/ the dup installs occur is unknown to me, but it would seem the
most logical answer would be something to do with slotting. -- or
disabling autoclean with FEATURES.
emerge -p --depclean
should also help you out a bit ( i guess ... i wouldn't know, the last
time i had a system that was -uvaDN world friendly was a /long/ time
ago )
and if you were wondering, sometimes emerge -uvaDN world /will/ miss
some upgrades if nothing depends on them and they're not in world (
orphans )
if emerge -uvaDN world shows nothing, run eix -cu and see all the
other things on your system which could be removed/upgraded
I reccomend adding some to world with emerge --noreplace <atom>
;)
