This happens when you have more than one version of a package in the same SLOT 
which means your system was in an illegal state. It should have left one 
version still in that SLOT (namely the one with the highest COUNTER which is 
the one that was emerged last and thus it's files won't have been removed).

[gentoo-user] Emerge -v portage performs sneak attack on emacs-cvs

[reader]

The subject line is half joke... but I just did an sync and then
emerged portage as suggested.   After the emerge of portage, emerge
process went on and uninstaqlled a couple of versions of emacs-cvs.

As you can see in the command output below... there was no hint of
what was coming:


root # emerge -v portage

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
