Did you actually do the emerge i.e. answer the question  at the end
about do you wish to emerge these packages?

Also, I would not get quite so much detail in your output by emering
like this:
script -c "emerge --update --deep --changed-use --with-bdeps=y
--keep-going --backtrack=500 --verbose-conflicts world"
/usr/src/world_update.txt

I always like to use a script because I like to look at output before
emerging.
