When installing dev-java/dom4j-1.6.1-r4 (required by icedtea6), emerge stops saying it "couldn't find suitable VM. Possible invalid dependency string" (complete message below). I have only the icedtea6-bin JVM (set as system-vm) and I was trying to install the source-based version.

With version 1.6.1-r5 this bug doesn't appear. I think it has been fixed
The ebuild is attempting to use jaxb-virtual-1 that is not declared in DEPEND.
Are you sure it's not this bug: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=241876 ?
(In reply to comment #2) > The ebuild is attempting to use jaxb-virtual-1 that is not declared in DEPEND. > That's already fixed in -r5 as Luca noted.
> That's already fixed in -r5 as Luca noted. No, there's 'java-pkg_jar-from jaxb-virtual-1' and no dependency on it, nor the package seems to exist.
