Unfortunately, that doesn't help at all. See below.

I guess it is triggered from pkg_postrm() of python-2.6.6-r1 which
until two days ago unconditionally called the following eselect
action:

    eselect python update --python2

So unless you had updated your python-2.6 during the last two days,
the installed version in your VDB would still contain the above line.
