I know that it was the first ebuild of the emerge process. Upon doing an
emege -p kde i get:
[ebuild     U ] dev-libs/openssl-0.9.7e [0.9.7c-r1]
(thats the first ebuild.)
   

Just to be sure, try this:
# emerge --oneshot "=dev-libs/openssl-0.9.7e"
 

I unfortunately get the same error:

Note that OpenSSL is a stable ebuild, so you *shouldn't* be having trouble
with it.  The errors you posted before look like errors with portage.  So
if it fails, try this:
# emerge --sync && emerge portage \
  && emerge metadata && emerge --oneshot "=dev-libs/openssl-0.9.7e"
 

I will do this overnight, and reply again with the result.
All on one line.  (Note that the 'emerge metadata' might actually be unnecc.
-- I'm not sure.)
Post your results.  HTH!
 

Thanks again.
