The emerge output shows only a virtual jre being pulled in. Not a actual jre. If you look at the virtual ebuild you will see RDEPEND="|| ( =virtual/jdk-1.6.0* =dev-java/sun-jre-bin-1.6.0* )" Which is the main guts of the virtual/jre-1.6.0 ebuild wrt to functionality and what is pulled in by the virtual and etc. So what you are seeing is normal, and a jre will not be pulled in alongside of the existing jdk. Just the virtual. Closing as invalid.
