I'm emerging the package here to investigate whether it's a global
issue or maybe just one you are seeing. I'll get back to you on that.

I think if it was me (and it may be in 10 minutes...) then I'd drop
into the console, emerge -C nvidia-drivers, probably run
revdep-rebuild or something to look for files that aren't owned,
remove them by hand, and then emerge nvidia-drivers back in.
