emerge -uDvp world listed net-libs/libcap as upgrading from 0.8.3-r1 to
0.9.3. However, the Gentoo database has no such animal, but rather
sys-libs/libcap. Locally, eix libcap also lists only
sys-libs/libcap-1.10-r5. The net-libs "version" is not
in /usr/portage/net-libs. There just doesn't appear to be a
net-libs/libcap, even though emerge shows an installed version. Any
advice appreciated. Thanks.

This could be one of those many ebuild move/rename that seems to happen quite
to often now days. You could uninstall your net-libs/libcap and then emerge
sys-libs/libcap and that should fix the whole.
