You are just another victim, search this list for the last week posts for the recovery details. Basically you have to use install disc to copy all the "core utils" now missing. Once recovered you are again able to emerge coreutils The explanation of the message above is: coreutils is going to upgrade from version 6.9-r1 to 6.10-r1, the latter (and other versions above) includes mktemp, so to avoid conflicts it is required to uninstall mktemp, now provided elsewhere.
