You may want to mention which versions of java-config you have installed...
Yep, I forgot to say that... * dev-java/java-config Latest version available: 2.0.26-r3 Latest version installed: 2.0.26-r3
It's solved. There was a file with the name /etc/java-config-2/current-system-vm surely. So the system was not able to create the correct symlink. This was my fault but the system should advertice about this condition instead of just die.
Please don't close the bug. While you were able to fix it on your system, the problem may occur for others until we figure out how to make java-config handle this scenario gracefully.
Fixed in svn trunk r2711.
Released in java-config-2.0.28
