Thanks, I just had the same problem and was wondering what the hell was going on.
It's really not quite optimal that something as simple as this essentially breaks portage, or at least the update method, and the user isn't notified as to what the cause is.

While the problem itself cannot be avoided because the user has to manually accept this new license and that's it, portage should tell us that there is an already installed package which requires a license that isn't accepted.
That way the solving of the problem would have been straightforward and wouldn't have required a forum search.
