emerge is broken :-(

[Lupin_the_3rd]

I just did an emerge sync (haven't done one in about a month or two). Then I did an emerge -uDp world and it said there's a new Portage and I should emerge that first. So I did an emerge -uD Portage which finished successfully, then an emerge -uD world which finished successfully. But now, when I run emerge <anything>, I get the following:

kramer ~ # emerge sync

(Could take a couple of minutes if you have a lot of binary packages.)

What the heck happened here and does anyone have any ideas how to fix it?? FYI this is on an EV56 Alpha.
