This appears to be the opposite of a upgrade. He has a package that

If I understand that correctly, he has already done the upgrade but
now something needs the old package installed in addition to the new
one.
As it happens the issue was moot for me, but I am sure that some people
were caught out. I said 'No' to the 'emerge -auDvN @world' and
waited. Later I saw a new bugzilla entry
(https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=326583) about unneeded opera
dependency on libpng. So I waited until after the fix was announced and
in the tree and resynced, and it no longer wanted to install
libpng-1.2.44.
That works too. Should also be better in the long run. Whew, glad that
is over. Nothing worse than having to go through a nasty upgrade just
to have to do it again later. ;-)
