Sounds like eselect-news is in your world file, which can be verified by |
| 46 |
gunning 'grep eselect-news /var/lib/portage/world'. Why not unmerge |
| 47 |
eselect-news, do the upgrade, then emerge it afterwards? |

P.S. If the unmerge doesn't break the log jam, you can emerge |
| 54 |
eselect-news and get back to "normal". |
