Did the emerge complete without error? The answer that question is the
same as the answer to yours.

It looks like you have gone a long time without updating, so if you hit
problems, and you do have one block there, a simple "emerge --ask
@system" /may/ be a better place to start.

I'd also drop -v from the invocation as it is the main cause of your
"spurious debugging/tracing info". emerge is verbose enough on its own
and will give you plenty of feedback if something isn't quite right, -v
just buries the important information in noise.
