I have tried to install blackdown-jdk with -k but the install failed due to full disk. So I redesigned my LVM to have enough space on /opt. Then I installed the package again. After that I tried to install db package but it failed with gcj error so I thought my blackdown-jdk is not correctly installed and I uninstalled it with -C. Now I cannot install again the blackdown-jdk. Here is what I get: # emerge -kd blackdown-jdk Calculating dependencies Parent: None Depstring: dev-java/blackdown-jdk Candidates: ['dev-java/blackdown-jdk'] ebuild: dev-java/blackdown-jdk-1.4.1 binpkg: dev-java/blackdown-jdk-1.4.1 \ Parent: binary / dev-java/blackdown-jdk-1.4.1 merge Depstring: virtual/glibc >=dev-java/java-config-0.2.6 doc?

What should I do to successfully install blackdown-jdk?

Problem solved: It was because raiserfs filesystem was corrupted. Repairing the filesystem solved the problem.
