*** Bug 124263 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** sun-jdk, sun-jre-bin, ibm-jdk-bin and ibm-jre-bin changed to use ewarn instead of eerror. Thanks for reporting this. |
Most sun-jdk ebuilds currently contained in the portage tree unconditionally issue an eerror in pkg_postinst: > Some parts of Sun's JDK require virtual/x11 and/or virtual/lpr to be installed. > Be careful which Java libraries you attempt to use. This is not an error, especially not without any previous check. Until yesterday this just affected the colors of stars I never even looked at, so I never cared, but with ELOG configured, I get an email containing error messages, which might cause a lot of confusion for some users.
