Something broken in portage?

I have a fresh Gentoo install. When emerging additional packages (e.g. cdplay) I get two error messages that I don't understand:

>>> Recording media-sound/cdplay in "world" favorites file...
!!! Couldn't find match for media-sound/cdplay

and

>>> Auto-cleaning packages ...
!!! Invalid db-entry: /var/db/pkg/*sys-fs/devfsd!!! Invalid db-entry: /var/db/pkg/*sys-fs/devfsd

Can somebody enlighten me?

You should be able to fix the invalid db entry problem.
