Hi,
I just ran eix-sync and it informs me that there are updates
available for 2 packages (Archiv-Tar and Archive-Zip). Both packages
are pulled in by othe packages that are either in world or system.
The current versions are not locked anywhere, nor are the new ones
masked  as far as I can tell. Still,
emerge --update --deep world
and
emerge --update --deep system
tell me that there are no updates to install.
I did emerge --metadata and emerge --regen, but the result is the
same. Does anybody have any idea what I might be doing wrong?

Does
emerge --with-bdeps y -uDNav world Do it for you?

The problem comes from Portage not updating build-dependencies until a package is rebuilt. --with-bdeps y makes portage consider both build and runtime-dependencies.
