Description Dan Fairs 2002-05-09 15:15:31 UTC
After emerge rsync'ing a couple of hours ago (20:00 2002-05-09) I can't  
install Xerces. This is what happens:  
  
bash-2.05a# emerge xerces  
Calculating dependencies \!!! Error merging  
/usr/portage/dev-java/xerces/xerces-2.0.1.ebuild: invalid dependency in:  
  
'virtual/jdk-1.3 virtual/jdk-1.3'  
>>> Please report this ebuild error to http://bugs.gentoo.org.  
  
bash-2.05a# emerge --version  
Portage 1.9.10  
bash-2.05a# uname -a

This is not a bug in the ebuild. I can reproduce it with Portage 1.9.10, so I
assume it must be some changes to the virtual mechanism. I tried messing a bit
with the /var/db/pkg/virtuals dir, to no avail.

Daniel, you know more about this ?
Comment 2 Dan Fairs 2002-05-12 16:43:14 UTC
Afraid not. The only thing I can really say is that I have a pretty vanilla 
system - I've not manually changed my Portage tree. 
 
If there's anything else you want me to do or information you need to shed 
more light on this, please don't hesitate to let me know. 
Comment 3 Daniel Robbins (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2002-05-13 11:27:50 UTC
This was actually a pretty obvious bug in the xerces ebuild. 
DEPEND="virtual/jdk-1.3" is not a valid dep and should be ">=virtual/jdk-1.3". 
Fixed on cvs.  This bug should have been detected in a merge test before
actually being committed.
