Thank you James. A quick search in the bugs DB bring this:

What do you "-t option". With which executable ?

If I understand you correctley, you are suggesting to rebuilt all the
dependencies for this package. This is what I am getting. There's no
depedencies:
=================================================
localhost mansour # emerge dev-python/cryptography --with-bdeps=y
These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild N ] dev-python/cryptography-1.1.2::gentoo
USE="(-libressl) {-test}" PYTHON_TARGETS="python2_7 python3_3 (-pypy)
-python3_4 (-python3_5)" 0 KiB
Total: 1 package (1 new), Size of downloads: 0 KiB
Would you like to merge these packages? [Yes/No]
=================================================
Can you please kindly elaborate ?
In fact I tried rebuilding the package few times, with the same error.

I am looking for a quick fix. Not sure if this is a good option now,
as I use this machine extensively , and would like to get it up to
date again !
But thank you anyway :)
By the way, I just did a sync,
and updating world. I can see a pending update for
dev-libs/openssl-1.0.2g-r2::gentoo. This will be strange as the
"equery" command shows there is no dependency. But let's see.
