Have you edited your world file manually? I wonder if you could have
introduced some non-ASCII characters or changed line endings - something
that portage objects to but emaint doesn't.
I checked and there's nothing weird in there. I even deleted the world
file, and then recreated it by doing "emerge --noreplace" all these
packages. Portage then re-created the world file.
Same result.
I then spend some time trying to find the packages that cause the
problem. I tracked it down to media-sound/pulseeffects. If I remove just
that one package from the world file, then the error message is gone,
but also "emerge -uDU @world" is now much faster.
This package is probably triggering a portage bug.
