In addition to Nuno's suggestion (don't forget emerge --metadata after the
2.1 upgrade), sometimes sandbox can be broken and cause issues.  Sandbox
is there to provide a bit of security, so I don't like emerging without it
unless absolutely necessary and then only a single package, but sometimes,
you may need to.  FEATURES=-sandbox emerge sandbox, to rebuild/upgrade
just it.  If you are paranoid about running the emerge without any
security at all, try FEATURES="-sandbox userpriv", to run the normally
sandboxed parts of the emerge as user=portage, first.

If it's not either of those, perhaps there's something wrong with your
tree.  Try syncing again.  If that doesn't work either, try removing (or
moving elsewhere for backup) the tree and syncing again (or use
emerge-webrsync, which might be faster if you are creating the local tree
from scratch, and will use a somewhat different code path than emerge
--sync)

If you are still failing, do an fsck on both the partition containing the
Gentoo tree and the partition containing the database (/var/db/pkg). 
Assuming it comes up clean and you are still failing, it's time to
consider filing a bug on the problem, and getting the portage experts
involved.
