That's a bug in your RPM installation. try-re-emerging it.

If it still doesn't work, see if there's an update in portage.

Two things... try re-downloading it (to make sure the file isn't corrupted

Also can you show us the output from emerge --info?

Are you running a 32bit install on an amd64 processor?

Just curious about this:
