Looks like a sane version number sequence was implemented, and v20060720 
(which you have installed) was renamed to 2.0.20060720 (which cups 
wants to install. This will never be automated as portage thinks the 
new version number is earlier than the older one (!)

So: emerge -avC =foomatic-db-ppds-20060702
emerge -uD world
