Hi,
Thank you for your prompt response. As suggested by you I have done
emerge -auvDN sys-apps/portage but I am getting the following error:
--
localhost ~ # emerge -auvDN world
These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Is all of this because of my outdated portage?

The output of my /emerge -info/ is as follows:
Portage 2.1.2.2 (default-linux/x86/2007.0/desktop, gcc-4.1.1,
glibc-2.5-r0, 2.6.19-gentoo-r5 i686)
You should consider updating your system:
emerge -auvDN world
(I hope you know the work that this implies.)
At least your portage version (2.1.2.2) is simply too old to emerge some
packages, so you have to update at least that one:
emerge -auvDN sys-apps/portage
This might pull in other updates, enough to warrant doing a full world
update.
